Revolutionary Computer to Plate Lasers from Inkcups Now – Pad Printing Solution for Any Size Shop

October 20, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
Inkcups Now, the leader in computer to plate technology for pad printing, introduces two new pad printing plate making & laser engraving systems designed to meet any budget. The revolutionary Cobalt 250 and Cobalt 500 laser systems use CO² laser technology and specially designed Imperial Printing Plates (patent pending) to produce high resolution pad printing plates directly from the computer, without the use of film positives. The machines are also perfect for engraving promotional products with plastic, leather, wood, and ceramic surfaces, as well as other organic materials. These laser etchers are a lower cost alternative to the highly successful Cobalt 1000 system.

User-friendly and affordable, Cobalt 250 and Cobalt 500 make a viable and effective solution for pad printing businesses of any size and level of experience. It has been commented that for the pad printing industry this technology is an advance comparable to the step from candle to light bulb.

System Benefits:

• High resolution printing plates in less than two minutes
• Consistent plates every time
• Machines operate as plate making systems and engraving systems
• No film positives, no chemicals
• Cost effective pricing

The key to the Cobalt laser system is the Imperial Printing Plates that are designed by Inkcups Now for use with CO² lasers. This exceptional material enables outstanding depth control, etches very cleanly, is extremely solvent and scratch resistant and has a typical life of 30,000 impressions.

The Cobalt 250, Cobalt 500, and Imperial Plates have radically simplified pad printing plate production and dramatically improved print quality over traditional method. Together they form the most productive and cost effective innovation introduced into the pad printing field in the last decade.
