Van Dam: High performance technology for photographic print quality

Dry offset printing is an attractive alternative to other decoration techniques for reasons of quality and cost.

New developments

Van Dam is an innovative company that follows closely any development that can affect the print quality on rigid plastic packaging. For that reason Van Dam introduced the first printing systems designed especially to exploit the full potential of digital laser plates. These printing systems create exciting opportunities for photo realistic printing onto rigid packaging.

High performance technology

The machine and especially the color head is a precision mechanism and the most important part of the dry offset printing machines. The better the color head is adjusted, the more stable the roles are the better the result. That stability in the color head is very important. If the temperature  changes adjustments are required to the roller pressure. The operator will need to adjust the color head to monitor the quality of the print. An operator needs to know the behaviour of the machine he is working with well to get the best results.

The machine is only part of the process

Profitable high quality printing means making choices, not only about the machine but also about plates, blankets, ink and staff. This process needs a sensible approach. Van Dam has an unique knowledge base on dry offset printing. With our experience in pre-press, printing and machine handling Van Dam can find the best solution.
