Plastics Package for Diamond 3000LX Refines Substrate's Path
Marking, warping and static are common problems when printing on plastics. Thanks to a new package of features, the Diamond 3000LX wide stock range press makes short work of plastics and synthetic paper.
Special features added to the press help ensure no wet-side contact with printed sheets. A series of air pans allows sheets to ride on a cushion of water-cooled air through the extended delivery. This is especially important for clear and white plastics, which scratch easily.
Printers frequently adopt hybrid and ultraviolet (UV) technologies to improve print quality on heat-sensitive substrates. Water-cooled jackets dissipate heat from UV lamps to prevent warping. The sheets travel more freely in the delivery.
Mitsubishi also implemented static-reducing measures. An air management system in the feeder gives sheets a blast of air to reduce the amount of static. Antistatic bars in the feeder and delivery further reduce static on sheets entering and exiting the printing process.
