Sherwood Technology Lasers For High Speed Printing
Sherwood Technology Limited has launched Datalase, a new coding, marking and printing technique.
The presentation is based on a paper delivered by Andrew Jackson, Sherwood's application marketing manager, during the SMART Labels Europe 2005 conference.
Andrew Jackson commented: "With successful implementations underway across a number of applications, we are now demonstrating our laser imaging technology's huge potential and commercial viability.
Future developments will include imaging at the speed of light, full inkless colour digital printing, on-line holographics and single technology platform for all inkless print media.

Sherwood Technology Launches New Brochure
Sherwood Technology, the colour change chemistry specialist, has produced a new brochure that charts Sherwood's roots as a company, whilst outlining its corporate background and new trends.
We are also keen to build on our strategic relationships and partnerships with key industry players in applications of our colour change systems." Sherwood's presentation illustrates the breadth of applications of its Datalase colour change technology.
The company said that Datalase is flexible and can be used for a range of marking applications, including product identification, primary packaging and labels, secondary packaging, fresh produce, pharmaceutical tablets and capsules and industrial parts.
The chemistry can be added to inks, coatings, processed plastics and an array of packaging and printing materials, such as paper, board, foil and metals, in addition to edible substances such as confectionery.
Differing from the conventional use of lasers, which typically burn an image in to the material, or remove a dark layer of ink to reveal the light coloured substrate, Datalase combines chemistry, substrate conversion and laser energy for the claimed high speed printing of images using low power laser light.
When exposed to low power CO2 laser emissions at high speed, it provides images that can be customised by causing a reaction with the Datalase chemistry to create a permanent high contrast image.
The presentation also describes the Digivu technique, which is said to provide a safe and effective way of protecting brands against counterfeiting, as well as introducing a new approach to brand recognition.
Digivu uses a combination of proprietary chemistry, a variable energy laser source and an individual control system to form a series of overt features on, or within, a product.
High resolution images are produced by a variable digital imaging process, which is only achievable using the Digivu chemistry, added the company. Request a free brochure from DataLase ...
