The machine can be used to etch both zinc and magnesium plates size up to 40x50 cm (16"x20"),
Strong construction and corrosion resistant materials assure long life of machines.

Plate rotary motion eliminates the possibility of non uniform etching.

A highly sensitive temperature controller reduces to a minimum temperature variations which take place during etching cycle.

Automatic heating is built into the machine, which works in conjunction with either a refrigerator unit or network water cooling.

Magnesium and zinc plates applications

Flexography
This process is favored in package printing due to brilliant colour it produces. By creating a master magnesium plate and transferring the reverse image to a matrix board, multiple rubber plates can be produced. These rubber plates are economical and very easy to work with.

Embossing
Embossing employs magnesium, copper, zinc, or brass dies under heat and pressure to create a relief image. The end result is an impactful presentation of a raised image.
Foil stamping
Foil stamping has enjoyed increasing popularity as a means to create striking visuals. Foil can be found on consumer goods labels, book covers, greeting cards, presentation folders, business cards, stationary, and trading cards. Because heat it is required in the transfer of foil to the paper, magnesium is ideally suited for creating foil stamping dies.
Signage, Nameplates
The photoengraving process is unparalleled in creating a solid, sculptural look and feel for interior and exterior signage and nameplates. With the addition of color, your logo or message will attract attention.
Plaques, Awards
Company logos and messages are easily reproduced on brass and zinc plates by the photoengraving process. The results are plaques and awards that minimize cost while creating a rich and lustrous effect.
Rubber Stamps
A popular application of the letterpress concept, rubber stamps are a mainstay for many businesses and speciality retailers.
