Pad Printing Plates are engravable by CO2 and YAG lasers.
September 19, 2007 -
Etched by CO2 laser, Imperial Plates are steel backed and .018 in. thick. They provide depth and halftone control, are receptive to etching of small dots, and have life of approximately 20,000 impressions. Suitable for etching by YAG lasers, Cobalt Plates are precision coated to tolerance of ±.0001 in. for repeatability from plate to plate, and are typically good for 10,000 impressions per side. Both can be etched within minutes with no film positives or chemicals.
