Our offering: 

Prepress

The state-of-the-art prepress is equipped with the latest software for processing all graphics. Advanced digital  technology, manned by qualified personnel, enable excellent print management with speedy approvals and execution.

Optical character recognition

Acuprint Systems is equipped with specialised software that can scan TIFF or JPEG images for text conversion to editable formats. This software supports several Arabic, European and Oriental languages.

Cylinder preparation

Post degreasing operation, the dynamically balanced base shells are immersed in a formulated nickel solution. This primary layer ensures affinity to copper plating, which is the next stage in this galvanic process.

Copper plating

High purity copper nuggets in perfect electrolyte chemistry ensure that the cylinders are coated to achieve the desired hardness & grain structure.

Polishing & finishing

The polishing and finishing operation engineers these copper plated cylinders to a predetermined circumference with geometrical precision.
Precise surface roughness is imparted by stone and band polishing for impeccable print quality.

Engraving

Every diamond strike on the cylinder surface provides the cutting edge in enhancing brand appeal and customer satisfaction.

Xtreme engraving

Optimal selection of engraving parameters ensure precise cell geometry for adequate ink volume and excellent ink/adhesive release. Xtreme engraving with HQH software facilitates reproduction of fine details, which are extremely critical for special purpose prints.

Laser precision for gravure & flexo

The machine processes rotogravure cylinders, flexo plates, embossing cylinders, anilox rollers and high-depth speciality coating cylinders. The engraving system uses a laser imager to give a crisp, precise & sharp output.
Laser engraving is ideally suitable for high resolution line work on paper, foil and board. For water based and metallic inks, appropriate cell geometries can be produced for quality reproduction.

Chrome plating

Chrome plating of the engraved cylinders is the next step in this evolution process. Chroming gives solidity to the engraved copper surface to withstand the aggression of inks and chemicals in the printing process. The resultant micro cracks ensure easy doctor blade lubrication for longevity of the cylinders.

Chrome polishing

The Programmable Logic Controller imparts a controlled roughness to the cylinder surface to facilitate excellent reproduction.The entire galvanic line is connected to an in-house effluent treatment plant and air purification system.

Proofing

The engraved cylinders are subsequently proofed to verify the engraving authenticity. The proofing machines are equipped with Electro Static Assist, ensuring impeccable reproduction on papers too. We can even offer fast test-proofs with Epson prints.

Barcode

Barcode Verification System ensures every printout and proof is as per ISO norms of EAN / UPC.

Text and line image check

'Digital Page' software is used for text and line image verification. The customer approved data and the output generated are compared digitally and by pixel for any discrepancies... a quality endeavour in ensuring perfection.

Quality assurance

Stringent quality checks at every stage, right upto despatch, ensure consistency in reproduction over long print runs.

Final product

Packaging gives a whole new life to your product, making it unique in the entire distribution chain. No wonder, the aesthetics and the quality of reproduction are as important as the barrier properties of the package.
