OUTSTANDING TECHNOLOGY MAKES FOR OUTSTANDING LITHOGRAPHY

Ball Metalpack’s new MetalStar 3 printer is truly in a class of its own. The state-of-the-art metal printer provides our customers with the most innovative, reliable and beautiful metal printing available in the market. Most of the industry’s metal printing presses are decades old. Those fully mechanical machines rely heavily on human accuracy, which can lead to inconsistent print quality. By comparison, the modern MetalStar3 is fully automatic and uses a number of digital components to ensure consistent and accurate registration and color density so the last sheet is as perfect as the first. Please visit our facility to see the best-in-class benefits of our MetalStar 3.

  • Unparalleled quality. Modern vision system with a combined spectrometer and densitometer for color corrections and quality control. Online ISRA camera inspection system checks each sheet for lithography defects and accurate registration.
  • Accurate color matching. DensiTronic Professional, our automatic color-measuring system ensures exact color matching.
  • Consistent and precise registration. High-precision KunziMatic registration system. Lateral, circumferential and diagonal register controlled from the console. DriveTronic plate Indent, inline reader for precise alignment of printing plates.
