Laser-Engravable Plates for Pad Printing

摘要

Inkcups Now says a year of research and development yielded three new types of laser-engrav-able plates forrnpad printing: AccuLaze plates for CO_2 or YAG lasers and Cobalt Ultra and Cobalt Steel Back for YAG lasers. AccuLaze is designed for small graphics, fine lines, and process-color images. It has a fixed depth of 0.00085 in. (0.02 mm), which Inkcups Now says makes it very easy to find the correct settings on any capable CO_2 or YAG laser system. Cobalt Ultra is a thick plate material, designed for resistance to damange and use for large, bold images and ink cups with steel rings.
