AV CE logoAVCE Direct Engraving Materials

AVCE direct engraving material is specifically designed for state-of-the-art laser engraving systems, like those manufactured by Stork Prints. Processing plates and sleeves digitally eliminate the need for film processing, exposing, traditional solvent wash and long drying times. Added benefits include better quality reproduction over longer runs, simple changeover, reduced errors, fast turnaround, more economical and more environmentally-friendly plate production.

 

HeliosAVCE plateAVCE is a true polymer material so pre-exposure (required with photopolymer) is not required. This amazing new material is immediately ready for engraving. AVCE lets you control the engraving parameters that affect dot shape and support, producing precise results which can be changed to match printing requirements.
