German to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Printing & Publishing / digital printing | | German term or phrase: Skalen | I'm translating a short description of a digital printer. A similar description of the same printer can be found here:
http://plasticker.de/Kunststoff_News_8925_Special_f09_ESC_Mo...
I'm having trouble with the word "Skalen" in the following list:
"Sie druckt mit UV Farben (CMYK und zweimal weiß) auf einer Vielzahl von Kunststoffen, wie PVC, Acryl, Styrol, Polycarbonat, Fome-Cor-Platten, Glas, ***Skalen***, Blenden, Wellkunststoffen und vielem mehr."
This seems to be a list of plastics, but all I can find for "Skalen" is "scales", which doesn't seem to quite fit into the list. Can anyone help.
(I'm also not sure what to do with "Blenden", but I'll put that in a separate entry.) |
