MacDermid unveiled the LAVA 5080 thermal plate processor at drupa
The installation of a MacDermid LUX system at pre-press supplier OEC Graphics in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, marks the 100th installation of the platemaking process since its commercial launch. A supplier to converters and packaged goods companies, OEC has added the system to its production workflow in a number of its facilities.
‘Adding LUX flat top dots to our product line-up puts us in a unique position to offer our customers unsurpassed performance and technology that can compete in any packaging market,’ said Brad Vette, corporate managing director.
Since its launch at the FTA INFO*FLEX in 2010, the flat top dot technology has been installed on six continents. ‘Given the tremendous interest we have seen, we are anticipating that we will install at least another 100 units in 2012,’ stated Pat Mullaney, global packaging group director at MacDermid.
LUX was the recipient of both the Flexographic Technical Association (FTA) Technical Innovation Award and the Flexographic Pre-Press Platemakers Association (FPPA) Technology Innovator Award in 2011.
