Engraving
Xtreme Digital Imaging (XDI™) technology with its laser engraved ceramic coated surfaces makes it a perfect choice for direct gravure and offset coating processes. Among the foremost benefits of laser engraved ceramic gravure cylinders is length of performance. Ceramic cylinders from Harper routinely offer a service life that is 10 times that of a conventional chrome roller. The difference is especially apparent when abrasive inks and coatings are involved.
In addition, the laser engraved ceramic cylinders deliver enhanced consistency and superior flexibility for handling changes in patterns and graphics. With metallic, fluorescents and whites, the cylinders enhance press uptime and consistency.
XDI™ engravings can be built from digital halftone files, digital patterns or logos. At the core of our ability to create ceramic gravure cylinders is Harper's expertise in ceramic applications, laser engraving and post-engraving finishing.
