PremiumSetter DLE (Direct Laser Engraving) technology harnesses high-resolution lasers paired with newly developed elastomers to produce high-precision three-dimensional print reliefs. The technology’s unique digital controllability and high reproducibility of printing parameters are key to its precision. The two-stage process ensures rapid availability of printing forms.

The PremiumSetter employs 600 W high-performance fiber lasers for single-pass removal of up to 800 μm relief, achieving depths of up to 3 mm, with 5080 dpi resolution and adjustable screen rulings.

It converts 1-bit TIFF to 3D 8-bit TIFF engraving data on the fly, delivering precise variable undercuts, steps, and shoulder angles at high resolution.

Elastomers used in the PremiumSetter are resistant to swelling, making them ideal for both water-based and aggressive inks. Users can choose between printing plates on polyester or metal substrates, as well as sleeves.
