Equipment and method for automatic plasticizing

An automatic plasticizing equipment for image sheets comprising a first plasticizing device and an electronic control unit, wherein said first plasticizing device employs a first plasticizer film unwinding from a first film spool,

• wherein said equipment processes image sheets with associated enhanced sheet codes (ESC), readable by machine, having dimensional and finishing information associated to said image sheets;
• said equipment further comprises one or more enhancement devices among another plasticizing equipment, an embossing device, a metalizing device and a browning device, activable, respectively, for plasticizing, embossing, metalizing, and browning the image sheets;
• the electronic control unit responds to the dimensional and finishing information from the enhanced sheet codes (ESC) for selectively activating the another plasticizing equipment and/or the embossing device and/or the metalizing device and/or the browning device for obtaining enhanced image sheets of different typology;
• and
• wherein said electronic control unit responds to the dimensional and finishing information from the enhanced sheet codes (ESC) for selectively activating the first plasticizing device or one or more of said one or more enhancement devices or to leave automatic plasticizing equipment and said one or more enhancement devices deactivated so as to obtain plasticized image sheets of different typologies of plasticization or embossed image sheets and/or metalized image sheets and/or browned image sheets or non-plasticized image sheets.
