Laser Point II is a patented laser ablative film used with infra-red laser platesetters with a vacuum system such as the Esko-Graphics CDi or the Kodak Thermoflex.
With the ever increasing cost of imagesetting film, primary user benefits include cost savings in equipment (eliminating the imagesetter and film) and chemical free processing eliminates waste removal cost too, as well as chemical costs.
It requires no processing and furthermore the film is more robust and scratch resistant than silver film. These are the reasons why this film is widely used in the packaging market.
