Dry offset printing is ideal for decorating open containers, metal drink and aerosol cans, as well as polymer cups and tubes. Elastomer offers numerous advantages in this process, including coordinated surface tension between the elastomer and blanket, resulting in excellent ink transfer. The elastomer's low tendency to swell extends the service life of the printing form. The ultra-fine laser spot of the fiber laser enables engraving with previously unattainable resolution. The precise use of infinitely variable undercuts significantly reduces dot gain. Additionally, elastomer printing forms for IDF machines do not require a separate sandwich structure. The PremiumSetter is also far more productive than conventional direct engraving systems.
