Anodic printing in the form of digital printing
The complexity of the process considerably restricts the flexibility of an individual printing process. Experience shows that colour tones defined in accordance with RAL/Pantone cannot be achieved.
The limitations of this process are not least determined by the fact that only one single material (aluminium) can be used. Other disadvantages are the relatively low UV resistance, expensive basic materials, inks containing solvents (hazardous substances), greater risk of drying and, with screen printing, high acquisition costs.
PrintoLUX®
By comparison, the PrintoLUX® process is more suitable for the many different material requirements and the mechanical processing used in industrial marking. Thanks to the special PrintoLUX® feature that printing is not carried out before the end of all related steps with water-soluble ink, prefabricated parts can be reused in the event of printing errors simply by washing these parts. In addition, a PrintoLUX® workstation is less expensive to buy and easier to integrate into the production process.
