At Drupa 2016 MGI Digital Technology will demonstrate its new Jetvarnish 3D Evolution, a B1+ scalable sheet-fed ‘Digital Enhancement Press’ that offers digital foiling. There is an upgradeable inkjet expansion system with three available substrate size options ranging from 52 x 120cm (standard) to 64 x 120cm and 75 x 120cm. The company said it the Jetvarnish 3D Evo 75 can run at more than 4,000 B2 sheets an hour.
The first installation of the printer went to a French commercial printer last month, but the B1+ size format is really aimed at short-run packaging applications. Products can be a blend of spot varnish, 3D raised varnish and digitally embossed foil in one pass.
