Direct Laser Engraving Gravure

He is also considered a pioneer of filmless direct engraving in gravure applications.

The elastomer sleeves have introduced the concept of seamless flexo printing which means perfect continuity on the repeat. With dle we can create 1 dots at 250 lines per inch. Direct laser engraving of elastomers makes the production of flexographic printing forms an entirely digital process. With the direct laser gravure is the multi phase production of photopolymer plates substituted by laser engraving or lasering the surface.

Direct laser engraving today and tomorrow with new systems and advanced materials primarily polymer we can now achieve print quality and efficiencies we did not think was possible in flexo. The vital factor here is digital control of the optimum three dimensional printing form parameters. Direct laser engraving has come a long way from its infancy and now delivers plate quality that. Reducing printing form production to just two process steps laser engraving and cleaning significantly cuts the workload involved.

Hell premiumflexo is the logical conclusion of the trend toward high resolution imaging processes in the shape of direct laser engraving on elastomer printing forms.
