Toray Graphics in the Czech Republic, a leading manufacturer of waterless offset plate technology, today reported that the State Printing Works of Securities (STC), a Czech government printing operation, is using Toray IMPRIMA waterless offset printing plates and a Toray plate processing system to deliver very high-quality security documents printed on plastics. STC began operating 90 years ago, ten years after the establishment of the independent state of Czechoslovakia, supporting its need for its own currency system and ensuring the high quality and secure production of banknotes. In addition to supporting the Czech government with security documents such as passports, ID cards, resident permit cards, public transportation cards, and driving licenses, STC offers its services to other governmental and commercial customers. STC operates from three locations within the Czech Republic, including Production Plant No. 3 where most of its plastics printing takes place; Production Plant No. 2, the personalization center; and Production Plant No. 1, the only location in the Czech Republic authorized to print currency and tax stamps.
