612 Platemaker

The MARKEM 612 provides the most advanced platemaking technology available for pad printers. It allows you to make low cost plates on a timely basis in-house while avoiding the cost, delivery problems, and bothersome artwork associated with other processes.

• low cost plates: the blanks are inexpensive and the process is not labor intensive
  
• convenience, control and timeliness of an in-plant platemaking operation
  
• one-step-to-finished-plate a simple to operate and learn process
  
• flexible legend graphics composition made possible with the Macintosh or PC environment
  
• no chemicals, artwork, negatives, bother, or delay
  
• download to 612 from mainframe saves labor expense and avoids the potential for error associated with manual input of legend data
  
• continuous operation plate production does not have to stop to load or unload plates
  
• optional mode light indicates the machine's operating mode

The 612 engraves the legend by lasing the special plate coating. The size of the legend area determines the time required to make a plate.

A typical legend can be produced in one to three minutes which, given the 612 Platemaker's ability to queue legends and produce a completed plate without the operator's involvement, means one platemaker can service a number of pad printers. The 612 Platemaker uses a laser. It is ruggedly constructed of proven, low voltage, sealed, C0₂ highly reliable components and incorporates an elaborate diagnostic package. It complies with the certification requirement of the CDRH for equipment containing lasers.
