Laser platemaker & engraver systems

Laser Engraver, Laser Platemaker Systems


Cobalt laser platemakers have advanced software, small spot size and quality power control. Every Cobalt laser plate maker is a revolutionary “two-in-one” solution: it is a capable industrial laser etcher and an advanced laser plate maker. Most Cobalt models are viable for any size production facility.

Inkcups Now engineers were the first to recognize the advantages of Laser Plate Making and launch specialized laser plate material and laser platemaker systems. ICN is proud to have pioneered the field and keep a leading position in it.
