When Worlds Collide:MGI to Discuss Matching Offset Quality Coatings on Digitally Printed Output on Discussion Panel at Print UV
MGI Digital Graphic Technology, a world leader in digital printing and finishing equipment, is pleased to announce they will be a member of an expert panel at the Print UV 14 Conference held March 2nd – 4th at the Wynn Resorts in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Many printers are seeing a growing need to varnish onto digital prints and to be able to deliver the same results as on their UV Offset press. However, due to the difference between dry toners, liquid toners, substrates and differences in digital printing registration tolerances, many have found this to be more challenging than originally thought.
The panel discussion will take place Tuesday morning, March 4th in the Margeaux 2 conference room at the Wynn Resorts.
Innovative iFOIL Samples will be Unveiled at Print UV…
Not only is MGI a part of the Panel at Print UV, they are also a sponsor.
As a major actor in the UV printing industry, MGI will be at Print UV to promote some of the most innovative applications in the UV printing industry. Bringing together the best UV printers and key vendors in the UV industry once a year, the Print UV Conference supports the growing UV printing industry.
MGI will be showcasing samples from the JETvarnish 3D inkjet spot UV coater, along with its newest innovation, the iFoil. The JETvarnish 3D inkjet spot UV coater, recent winner of the 2013 InterTech™ Technology Award from the Printing Industries of America, takes digital spot UV coating to the next dimension. Known for its stunning tactile effects, the JETvarnish 3D provides a value-added service by having both 3D and traditional frat spot UV coating together in one production unit- giving graphics professionals a dual set of tools to increase profitability. The JETvarnish 3D produces visually striking pieces that will allow customers to have unique customization options that traditional and analog spot UV coating methods cannot provide.
2014: The year embossing and hot foil stamping went digital. The newest upgrade to the JETvarnish 3D inkjet spot UV coater is the iFoil module – the first production solution in the world capable of doing both embossing and hot foil stamping in a fully digital process. The iFoil won the “Best New Production Equipment” award at the 58th Annual Packaging Oscar ceremony in Paris, proving to be a widely successful addition to the JETvarnish 3D system. IFoil’s new 100% digital process streamlines production by allowing variable data creation of embossed and hot foil stamped effects, with each sheet being different from the previous. The iFoil module also allows for a large scope of colors, including metallic and holographic films making it one-of-a-kind in the foil and embossing industry.
JETvarnish 3D and iFoil samples will be handed out at the MGI tabletop display on the perimeter of the conference during Print UV 2014.
