03 / Technology

An image sealed in the anodic layer.

NANOthINKecodye dye penetrates the pores of the unsealed anodic layer. After printing and a short drying time, the sheet goes into the sealing tank, where the pores are closed at approx. 96 °C and the image becomes part of the coating.

The finished print is glossy and resistant to scratches, water, chemicals and abrasion. The sheet can then be cut, milled and laser-marked.

PLUS versions have magnetic position encoders instead of optical ones. Optional equipment (stand, end-of-print signal, sealing tank) is selected as options on the printer page.
