Konica Minolta will show a live demonstration of the AccurioLabel 230 digital label machine along with the DPR digital die-cutting machine at Labelexpo India 2022.
The company will also showcase print samples of its upcoming press MGI JETvarnish 3D Web to be launched in early 2023
The JETvarnish 3D Web allows printers of labels, sleeves, flexible packaging, or flexible cartons to apply a 100 percent digital finishing on rolls ranging from 100mm width to 420mm, on media previously printed in offset, flexo and digital. This equipment applies selective UV varnish and hot foil stamping, in 2D/3D, on all types of labels or light cardboard, using MGI inkjet technology. The selective UV varnish and the hot foil stamping adds sensory and tactile dimension to labels.
The 100 percent digital technology of the JETvarnish 3D Web applies these coatings in fixed or variable data to enable different hot foil patterns or selective varnish on each label/sleeve or packaging coated. On-the-fly registration, controlled by artificial intelligence (AIS Smartscanner), allows perfect registration of the varnish and the gilding, by adapting their application to the defects observed in real time on the printed roll.
The implementation of JETvarnish 3D Web does not require any tooling, plate or cliché, and is said to reduce costs of finishing and allows mass production, prototyping and versioning. Flexible packaging and heat-shrinkable sleeves are a key segment of the packaging world, in markets as varied as food, consumer products, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and industry.
MGI offers a range of digital printing and finishing presses, adapted to the different formats of packaging such as sleeve Shrink sleeves, tubes, flexible barrier packaging, pouches and bags.
