Products classified under HTS 4809.90.20.00
Stereotype Matrix Board
Stereotype matrix board is a specialized rigid paperboard designed for creating curved printing plates used in traditional stereotyping processes. It falls under HTS 4809.90.20.00 as it is explicitly classified as stereotype-matrix board within the copying or transfer papers category. This material is typically sold in sheets and prepared for molding into metal stereotypes for letterpress printing.
Printing Mat Board for Stereotypes
Printing mat board is a flexible, fibrous paper mat used to form molds for casting molten metal into stereotype printing plates. Classified under HTS 4809.90.20.00 due to its role in transfer and matrix processes for duplicating printing surfaces. It is typically supplied in rolls or large sheets for newspaper and book printing industries.
Curved Stereotype Matrix Paperboard
This heavy-duty paperboard is engineered for forming curved stereotype matrices used in rotary printing presses. It qualifies under HTS 4809.90.20.00 as 'stereotype-matrix board' for transfer paper applications in matrix molding. Primarily used by legacy printing operations for durable plate production.
Newspaper Stereotype Mat Board
Specialized mat board formulated for newspaper stereotype casting, providing precise impressions for metal plates. Falls under HTS 4809.90.20.00 as stereotype-matrix mat within copying/transfer papers. High tensile strength ensures accurate reproduction in high-volume press runs.
Offset Matrix Stereotype Board
Board designed for matrix preparation in offset stereotype processes, coated for superior ink transfer and durability. Classified in HTS 4809.90.20.00 for its role as stereotype-matrix material in duplicator applications. Used in hybrid printing setups bridging letterpress and offset.
Book Printing Stereotype Matrix Mat
Flexible mat material for creating stereotype matrices in book production, offering fine detail capture for long runs. HTS 4809.90.20.00 covers this as stereotype-matrix mat for transfer printing applications. Essential for maintaining text quality in traditional typesetting.
