Stylish and cost-effective - the art of foil finishing in offset printing.
FoilStar, the cold foil module from Heidelberg, makes for a whole host of exceptional finishings for labels, packaging, and high-quality commercial print jobs, offering brilliant metallic effects that give your customers’ print products high added value. Using FoilStar on the Speedmaster XL 75, Speedmaster CD 102 and Speedmaster XL 105 enables a wide range of printing stocks to be finished to impressively high levels of quality.
Cold foil finishing - the technology for brilliant effects.
FoilStar applies the cold foil using two offset printing units. In the first unit, high-tack glue is applied using the inking unit and an offset printing plate either as a spot application or over the entire sheet. The second, actual cold foil unit has take-up and take-off units for applying the foil. Along with the sheet, it is fed into the nip between the blanket and impression cylinders and applied by pressure to the areas of the printing stock coated with glue. When the backing is removed, the metal layer remains on the sheet.
Subsequent overprinting of the foil allows you to achieve a variety of color nuances. The option of varying the number (one to six) and width of the foil webs enables you to precisely adapt the foil consumption to the current job.
A further benefit is that both printing units can be changed over rapidly and are then immediately available for printing.
