Direct Laser Engraving Gravure

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 gravure. Unlike the plates the in round engraved sleeves do not have sewing marks in the print. Direct laser engraving of elastomers makes the production of flexographic printing forms an entirely digital process. 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.

The vital factor here is digital control of the optimum three dimensional printing form parameters. The direct laser engraving is one of the modern digital ways to get the digital image on the printing sleeve or print roller. 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 has come a long way from its infancy and now delivers plate quality that.
