Markem-Imaje's laser printing machines for coding and marking are either CO2, Fiber, or UV (ultraviolet) based that mark by ablation, etching, foaming, or laser scribe imaging.
CO2 laser marking technology is suitable for film, laminates, PET bottles, and inked paper and metal caps.
Fiber laser marking is suitable for bare metal and rigid plastics and is used in the automotive and electronics industries
and FMCG. Fiber laser technology provides high-speed printing in large coding areas and tough environments and the ability to multi-head scribe and produce high-contrast codes.
UV laser technology is good for marking
on the finest easy-to-damage substrates because of producing a photochemical reaction with the material, for example, on newer thinner mono films which are better for the environment films.
Ultraviolet printing is
an alternative solution for CO2 or fiber laser printing when these are not suitable for the substrate.
