Grafotronic DCL2
SCI-FI LASER

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.
