DIGITAL UV VARNISH

Touching the senses with print that stands out in a form never seen before in the world of printing, the press is a digital enhancement press that brings a new, high-quality look and tangible dimension to printed graphic communications. Delivering an unmatched range of enhancement, the press applies special PolySENSE™ Polymer onto selected areas of the printed image, allowing for easy single or dual-sided applications. The SENSE experience is produced through the unique digital print enhancement capabilities of the Liquid metal printing:

• 99 Gloss Units (GU): The highest gloss available for printed materials including PVC cards
• Polymer height of up to 250 microns (in Braille mode): 10 times higher than a selective polymer
• Variable density capabilities in single pass
• Variable levels of thickness and textures, from 20 to 70 microns

 

 

 

DIGITAL LIQUID METAL PRINTING

The technology applies digital Liquid metal effect - a combination of digital UV varnish and metallic foil. The Liquid metal effect has more embossed (liquid) structure compared to the traditional hot stamping. 

• Various colored foils for liquid metal printing – gold, silver, red, blue, hologram and other
• Possibility for combined application of different foils in a single pass
• The patent-pending camera system executes enhancement with pinpoint accuracy, scanning every sheet to deliver the polymer to its exact location.
• This registration method produces output that it is superior to any other in the industry.
