Direct Laser Engraving Gravure

Direct laser engraving of elastomers makes the production of flexographic printing forms an entirely digital process.

The print result is on a par with gravure and offset printing. The direct laser engraving is one of the modern digital ways to get the digital image on the printing sleeve or print roller. With dle we can create 1 dots at 250 lines per inch. With the direct laser gravure is the multi phase production of photopolymer plates substituted by laser engraving or lasering the surface.

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. 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. Direct laser engraving has come a long way from its infancy and now delivers plate quality that. He is also considered a pioneer of filmless direct engraving in gravure applications.

Reducing printing form production to just two process steps laser engraving and cleaning significantly cuts the workload involved.
