The thermal processor was on display at Labelexpo Europe in Brussels. Lava NW-M system features a small footprint, reducing platemaking space and enables creating press-ready plates in less than an hour and eliminates the need for solvents.

‘This allows us to further our ambition and deliver our promise to our customers to have a solvent-free, sustainable environment for the production of rotary, self-adhesive labels. We are delighted to partner with MacDermid and deliver this promise to our customers to be the very best in the sector,’ said Will Parker, CEO of Telrol.

‘The Lava NW-M thermal processor is a cornerstone of MacDermid’s sustainable platemaking system for the label and narrow web market. Partnering with Telrol on this thermal system not only allows them to fulfill their promises to their customers, it also allows MacDermid to further our goal to provide the ultimate flexo solution to the industry. Telrol initially started with our plates in their legacy solvent processor before transitioning to thermal without needing to change the plate type due to the versatility of MacDermid’s dual-processing plate portfolio,’ added Andy Beesely, business director, EMEAR of MacDermid Graphics Solutions.
