MacDermid to debut new processing unit in Europe

MacDermid Graphics Solutions will demonstrate its LAVA NW-M thermal processing unit for the first time on the European market at Labelexpo Europe 2019.

New MacDernid Lava NW-M thermal processing unit

The polymer plates specialist will showcase the new thermal processing technology along with the expanded Lux  ITP flat-top dot plates, including Lux  ITP 60, Lux  ITP M, and the newest addition to this range – Lux  ITP EPIC. 

All three plates are formulated with MacDermid’s patented Clean Plate technology, which is claimed to reduce the number of press stops and ensure a cleaner print with better ink laydown. The Lux ITP plates, processed using the Lava thermal processing system, create a streamlined workflow for printers and converters to reduce platemaking time. 

Labelexpo Europe is an important show for us. This is an excellent opportunity for MacDermid to showcase our technology to the label and packaging printing market on a global scale, said Alicia Gibson, strategic marketing and portfolio manager. This year we will feature our comprehensive portfolio of Lux ITP photopolymer with our new Lava NW-M thermal processing system. Together these plates and processing innovations provide the value add necessary for converters and printers to meet the ever-changing demands of their customers.

Labelexpo attendees will be able to learn more about MacDermids portfolio and technologies at stand 5A17.
