ATLANTA, GA—MacDermid Graphics Solutions, a worldwide supplier of photopolymer printing plates and plate making systems, has sold a LAVA NW-M thermal plate processing system to Telrol. The thermal processor was on display in Brussels, Belgium at Labelexpo Europe 2019.
“The LAVA NW-M thermal processor is a cornerstone of MacDermid’s sustainable plate making system for the label and narrow web market. Partnering with Telrol on this thermal system not only allows them to fulfill their promises to their customers, it also allows MacDermid to further our goal to provide the ultimate flexo solution to the industry. Telrol initially started with our plates in their legacy solvent processor before transitioning to thermal without needing to change the plate type due to the versatility of MacDermid’s dual-processing plate portfolio,” stated Andy Beesely, business director, EMEAR of MacDermid Graphics Solutions.
MacDermid’s LAVA NW-M thermal plate processing system’s small footprint reduces plate making space and can create press-ready plates in less than an hour, instantly improving productivity and workflow, according to MacDermid Graphics Solutions. LAVA thermal processing eliminates the need for solvents and makes in-house plate making a viable option for the narrow to mid web market.
Will Parker, CEO of Telrol, commented, “This allows us to further our ambition and deliver our promise to our customers to have a solvent-free, sustainable environment for the production of rotary, self-adhesive labels. We are delighted to partner with MacDermid and with Andy and his team and deliver this promise to our customers to be the very best in the sector.”
