Versatile Pre-Press Solution
With THORIUM, you can seamlessly process four different printing forms—Dry Offset, Intaglio polymer plates, flexographic varnish plates, and seamless endless screens—all on a single system. Thanks to its chemical-free process, THORIUM reduces operational costs while simplifying production workflows.
Chemical-Free Process for Enhanced Sustainability
THORIUM uses a unique single-step dry process that removes non-printing areas by precisely ablating the polymer. • No chemicals to handle or store • No post-processing required after engraving • Simplified workflow with reduced environmental impact This approach ensures a cleaner, safer, and more sustainable production process.
Lower Operational Costs
A perfectly integrated in-house developed CAD/CAM software and advanced hardware streamline workflows, reduce process steps, and enable multiple printing forms to be produced on a single system. The new sealed CO₂ laser generator eliminates the need for process gas, while the automatic standby mode reduces energy consumption—delivering significant operational cost savings.
High Accuracy & Advanced Dot Shaping
THORIUM delivers up to 10,160 dpi resolution, enabling ultra-precise engraving beyond conventional limits. Its in-house Active 3D® RIP technology provides advanced dot shaping, ensuring consistent print results, fine details, and high repeatability—even for the smallest elements.
