The 'AccurioShine 3600' inkjet spot UV coater is now available, according to Konica Minolta Business Solutions. The innovative product allows Konica to use spot UV varnishing without screens, plates or dies. It makes use of varnish technology to quickly create various 2D and 3D coatings and dimensional texture effects. High-impact finishing effects, such as personalized embossed foil, can also be created with the UV coater.
B3+ (364 x 750 mm) is the largest paper size that may be supported, which makes this product perfect for creating
greeting cards and photobook covers. Variable Data Printing (VDP), which the AccurioShine 3600 also enables, increases the effect of customized packaging and labels.
"With the shift to digital printing, more emphasis is being placed on digitalising prepress and post-press processes, alongside on-demand short run printing. By combining the AccurioShine 3600 with other Konica Minolta digital colour printers, our customers not only grow their business in new ways, but also add value to their customers, by providing cost-effective, impactful, premium short-run embellishments to their day-to-day print jobs," said Jon Hiscock, head of production and industrial print at Konica Minolta Business Solutions.
