LUX Process

The LUX Laminator is a simple addition to your existing digital workflow. LUX Membrane 100 is laminated to the digital plate following
laser ablation. This lamination process takes between 4-6 minutes, and works with all plates, including the largest available size, 52” x80” (1321mm x 2032mm). Following exposure on your existing unit, the Membrane is peeled off and disposed in seconds. The plate canthen be processed in your existing equipment.
