Problem
Print results not coming out consistent or uniform

Solution
For branding to be effective, consistency is key. Unfortunately, some laser-etching supplies in the market can have minor discrepancies that detract from the quality of decoration you want to produce, such as poor coatings. That won’t be the case with Blaze X printing technology, which allows materials to be etched perfectly every time in just seconds with uniform depth and accuracy on a smooth, durable coating. Compare this process to polymer plate making, which can take up to an hour to produce and risks many imperfections, along with human error. With the Blaze X printing plates, your clients can enjoy finished goods that look impeccable from the first piece to the last, making them more likely to continue to trust you with their decorating needs down the road.

Problem
Laser-etched print plates breaking down over time

Solution
No one wants to constantly replace printing plates. Not only is this a pain, it also eats into your overall profits. Thankfully, the Blaze X plates are durable and long-lasting while also offering massive advantages over older processes you might currently be using, such as polymer print plates. When you invest in higher-quality print plates, they'll hold up better over time and outperform previous technology thanks to their greater consistency and repeatability – it’s a total win-win.

Problem
Decorating products taking too long

Solution
Outdated processes for creating etched print plates may sometimes be effective, but they can also be slow to produce. For example, polymer plates can take up to an hour to etch artwork onto a print plate, resulting in lengthy turnaround times for etched designs. Not ideal! Luckily, that all changes with the Blaze X. With the ability to accurately etch designs in just seconds, now you can complete large-quantity orders quickly and promise faster in-hand dates to your clients.

Problem
Laser-etching equipment costing too much

Solution
One of the greatest challenges of polymer print plates is that once they're exposed to light, they can’t be re-etched. This means if you make a mistake or your clients have a last-minute change, you have to start all over again. However, that’s not the case with the Blaze X plates. Not only are these plates cheaper than polymer options, you can also use them multiple times by utilizing different areas as well as both the front and back of each plate. This allows you to maximize your money and materials, which in turn will make your decoration capabilities more efficient and cost-effective.

Problem
Need to achieve bolder prints easier than before

Solution
With a thicker, more durable coating, the Blaze X print plate material can achieve results superior to previous laser print plates. As many markets require a deeper and bolder print (such as for tagless garments), the thicker coating allows for a deeper etch and in turn transfers more ink to the product (in this case, a T-shirt). This concept is a market disruptor to all those prior processes, thanks to its improved performance. By solving the shortfall of prior laser print plates not producing a deep or bold enough imprint, the Blaze X allows for all steel and polymer print plate users to transition to the new age of plate making with laser technology.
