LDS is targeted at printers of optical discs and similar format applications
Sefar has become a worldwide distributor for selected components of Esko Software Suite seven, to be integrated into Sefar's end-to-end solution for the screen printing industry.
Under the agreement, Esko FlexRip and associated screening software will complement the Sefar Laser Direct Screen system (LDS) to produce screen printing stencils. Sefar LDS is targeted at printers of optical discs and similar small and medium format applications such as printing labels, cartridges and solid objects.
Sefar Printing Division’s director of marketing and sales, Andreas Schneider, said: “Being the market leader of mesh materials to the screen printing industry, we have teamed up with partners to create the Sefar LDS solution covering all the process steps from data input to direct exposure of our special screen printing meshes.
“We evaluated several RIPs and concluded that the Esko FlexRip and the special Esko screening options provide superior quality and flexibility.”
Esko’s channel manager global distribution partners, Jef Bogaerts, added: “Esko has a strong track record for offering superb quality output with the widest variety of printing techniques: offset, flexo, gravure and screen. With the Esko FlexRip, Rugby screens and DynaCell, we provide an optimised imaging solution for silk screen printing, adding to the high productivity and quality of Sefar's integrated Sefar LDS offering.”
The Sefar LDS system lets printers image precision stencils with minimal operator involvement. The precision laser technology is designed to ensure stencil quality. The company states the result is an improvement in print quality and reduction of screen printing process costs.
LDS means digital files can be exposed directly onto coated screens via laser. Being an encapsulated system, Sefar’s LDS complies with laser safety classification one.
