Konica Minolta Releases JETvarnish 3D Web 400

Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A. (Ramsey, NJ) has launced the JETvarnish 3D Web 400, a 100% web-fed digital embellishment press that integrates spot UV coating hot foil stamping and variable data printing in a single pass, according to a press release. The machine is the only such reel-to-reel system currently available on the market.

Tailored to the self-adhesive label and flexible packaging sectors, the JETvarnish 3D Web 400 is print process agnostic, with the ability to embellish offset, flexo, toner and almost any print method. It enables converters and printers to reduce customers’ time-to-market, while transforming the impact of their labels and packaging on the shelf in full compliance with their environmental strategies. It meets varied requirements for short, medium and long runs by enhancing printed production with digital spot UV varnish and hot foil stamping in fixed or variable data, flat or embossed, as well as facilitating multi-runs and versioning. The machine will come equipped with an optional flexo unit and semi-rotary die cutter shortly after launch.

“We received some incredibly positive feedback during demonstrations at Labelexpo Americas, with a great deal of excitement over its unique features, and attendees calling the single-pass ability a complete game changer,” Frank Mallozzi, President, IPP, Konica Minolta is quoted in the release. “The JETvarnish 3D Web 400 provides real value for our clients, enriching print, customization and personalization. With speeds up to 42 meters per minute, it is more productive than earlier models and accommodates uncoated materials along with coated and synthetics.”
