Pamarco invests in new laser technology for UK facility

In order to support its continued growth in flexible packaging and narrow web markets, Pamarco Global Graphics will install a new ALE multi-beam 500 W solid state laser at its Warrington, UK, anilox manufacturing plant during the first quarter of 2010.  

The company will also be adding a complete clean room facility for the new and existing lasers. This is part of a five year plan to add and upgrade all lasers to solid state technology.  

In addition to new laser technology, the company has also introduced new engraving technology, E-Flo. E-Flo is a unique cell structure and combined with an improved cell angle profile that will provide a more consistent and increased ink lay down. The company says that this cell angle profile now allows printers to work with the expanded color gametes in particular high definition or Opaltone technology without concern of the angles clashing with the printing plate.
