Digital printing service
21 April 2015
OKW’s metal enclosures division, Metcase, is reported to be pioneering the use of digital printing for front panels, rack cases and instrument housings – saving customers time and money.

Metcase’s new state of the art digital technology means legends, logos and complex photo quality graphics can be printed on front panels and enclosures quickly and easily. The company can print in full colour CMYK up to 1,800 x 1,800 dpi on painted or anodised metal surfaces (and plastics) with all different kinds of textures.
Hard UV ink provides excellent scratch resistance; surfaces are also lacquered for added protection. Printing is carried out on a large A2 flatbed area so multiple panels or cases can be printed at once, speeding up the process. The maximum object height is 150mm.
