Engraving

Classic materials for processing engraving are plastics (2-coat). This milling method is not suitable for film printing. The process is work-intensive and damaging to the environment. Metal plates are usually only available in one colour, which makes it necessary to stock all required basic colours. Graphics can only be produced at great expense, and photogravures cannot be produced at all. The process requires qualified personnel. 

PrintoLUX®

Compared to engraving, the thermosetting digital printing process offered by PrintoLUX® is considerably more versatile in use (besides metals and glass it can also be used on various prefabricated plastic parts and adhesive foils). In addition, it offers the following advantages: Variety of designs through defined colour tones in conjunction with the PrintoLUX® colour profile and photorealistic reproduction, easier integration in production sequences, environmental friendliness, availability and cost optimisation.
