MSL - High Water Cobra Platesetter

Metal has been the cornerstone of platemaking in the printing industry for decades. High Water has brought new twists to metal plate making that are about to change the game. The 60 mW Violet Laser allows you to output plates without the time consuming step of baking the plates. This drastically reduces the time necessary to make a plate and also cuts the energy use to just a fraction of what was once just an accepted part of metal platemaking. Keeping costs low comes from cutting out laborious and time consuming tasks that simply aren't necessary.

We all care about the environment; to reduce emissions and chemical use, MSL and High Water are proud to announce new eco-friendly plates. Unlike other processless plates High Water's have a visible image that lets you spot mistakes before printing.
