Laser Die Cutting Southern Coating Style— The Real Story Behind Hybrid Roll/Sheet-Fed Laser Cutters By Mike Bacon, VP, Spartanics It wasn’t that long ago when workers in Little Rock Arkansas’ Southern Coating would sit there for hours on end, exacto knives in hand, pulling the webbing out of “o”s, “a”s, “e”s and similar letters needing […]
Laser cutting, a.k.a. digital die cutting, uses high-powered lasers to vaporize materials in the lasers’ beam path. The powering on and off of the laser beam and the way in which the beam path is directed towards the substrate effects the specific cuts that the artwork requires. Because cut away parts are vaporized the hand […]
There are reasons why digital printers should take a new look at laser cutting technology. Recent technological advances combined with the growing availability of contract manufacturing services offered by manufacturers of laser cutting equipment make a range of new products possible. First, for those not familiar with laser cutting technology, a brief breakdown on how it works. Lasers cut by melting […]
1. Verlassen Sie sich nicht auf Informationen die älter als 1 Jahr sind Gerade in der letzten Zeit sind große Entwicklungssprünge beim Laserschneiden mit GALVO-SYSTEMEN erzielt worden. Große Fortschritte wurden nicht nur bei den Hardwarekomponenten erzielt, sondern insbesondere auch in der Software, welche das Laserschneiden steuert und kontrolliert. 2. Was zeichnet eine gute Laserschneidmaschine aus […]

Questions and ANSWERS about Laser Cutting Labels By Tom O’Hara, President, Spartanics (www.spartanics.com) If you haven’t recently taken a good hard look at laser cutting technology you are probably missing out on how to move into highly lucrative niches in label products. Much has happened in the past year that allows label converters to incorporate laser cutting into their […]
Matching Laser Cutting Technology to Label Application Requirements By Tom O’Hara, President, Spartanics It was only a few years ago that laser cutting was a relative novelty in the label converting industry. That is no longer so, and there is now a dizzying array of laser cutting equipment system components to choose from. The challenge to label converters making […]
By Bill Knotts, VP and Karl-Heinz Jordan, European Sales Director, Spartanics Is it time to add digital die cutting (a.k.a. laser cutting) to your finishing department? The prototyping-on-the-fly capabilities of laser cutting systems deliver a competitive advantage to label converters and to others who have similar needs for fast job turnaround. The more sophisticated laser cutting systems on today’s market […]
Revisiting the Laser Cutting Advantage By Bill Knotts, Spartanics When laser cutting first hit the converting industry, many converters had been impressed by the promise of laser cutting technology, but decided to bide their time in acquiring tool-free digital cutting systems because they were quite literally not up to speed. The latest generations of best-in-class laser cutting systems CAN be used […]
By Bill Knotts, Spartanics Moving from artwork to finished die cut printed products within hours is not a futuristic fantasy. By combining digital printing with digital die cutting such quick turnarounds are readily doable. In turn that means that building a niche in rapid prototyping is there for the taking for any digital printer that […]
