Grafotronic - Digital Finishing Machines

Fully modular LASER finishing

The DCL² SCI-FI Laser is a fully modular, FUTURE SAFE™ Laser Finishing System for the digital converting of printed labels and stickers.
Thanks to Grafotronic’s 100% modular concept the laser module has been designed for rapid integration and retrofitting and can be combined with any DCL² modules.
