Matte and gloss effects and spot coatings.

The Digital Embellishment Unit can produce gloss and matte spot coatings and tactile relief effects in a single pass, all using atmospheric UV inkjet coatings. It supports coating volumes up to 100 gsm with a resolution of 600 x 600 dpi (native/physical).

Efficiency.

When using this DEU, customers benefit from shorter setup times and minimised cleaning work over conventional solutions. Thanks to the digital technology, there are no additional costs for tools, including tool production and management.

In a single pass.

As various matte, gloss and tactile effects can be applied at the same time in a single pass, this unit replaces up to three conventional printing stations, thus tripling the benefits. The resulting shortened web path also leads to further cuts in waste.
