Stork Prints Celebrates 20 Years of Laser Engraving Technology

The technology marked a major technological breakthrough for the pre-production stages, and the rotary screen printing process—it meant an image could be applied to the screen without film, and chemicals, and in a much shorter time. The specification of this system may seem modest compared with the standards of the very latest high-powered laser engraving systems. With a top speed of 600 RPM, a typical screen would be engraved in about one-and-a-half hours, and the frequency was relatively limited compared with today because the whole laser system would switch on and off.
