Konica Minolta launches the AccurioShine 3600, a new UV inkjet coater. Built on the basis of MGI's JETvarnish 3D One, this new finishing machine joins Konica's offering under its own brand.
Konica Minolta and MGI have worked together on this new machine to improve its performance "a technology that has already been tried and tested, and brings new developments in terms of stability, reliability and ease of maintenance" says the Japanese manufacturer.
AccurioShine 3600, digital finishing up to B3+ format
The AccurioShine 3600 is a compact âeuros 4 x 1.4 x 1.8 m solution without âeuros option that applies 2D and 3D selective UV varnish and, with the IFoilOne module, dull hot foil stamping, on paper, plastics, synthetics and cardboard from 135 to 450 g/m² 2 the result is a new way of working, freeing us from the complex stages of conventional systems (screens, matrices...).
"These effects and textures add an emotional dimension to any project, allowing the prints to stand out." emphasizes Konica Minolta.
The AccurioShine, with a maximum paper size of B3+ (364 mm x 750 mm), is equipped with the AIS Scanner, an artificial intelligence technology for on-the-fly repetition between image and varnish, and an LED drying system.
It applies 2D varnish (21 µm) up to 2077 sheets A3/h and 3D varnish (116 ?m) up to 547 sheets A3/h.
3D variable-data gilding and varnishing with AccurioShine 3600
It adds value from prototyping through to full production of invitations, greeting cards, photo book covers, tickets and packaging. And with its support for variable data (VDP), it makes it possible to offer personalized tickets, labels, invitations and other printed products.
Finishing files (in TIFF format) are linked directly to the substrate by a barcode. Scanning the barcode on the pre-printed sheet instantly selects the corresponding TIFF file stored in the workstation.
High value-added finishing to set you apart from the competition
Olaf Lorenz, Head of International Marketing at Konica Minolta Business Solutions Europe, comments: "By combining AccurioShine 3600 with other Konica Minolta color presses, our customers are developing their businesses in new ways and adding strong value to their productions. In the printing sector, it's not enough to offer quality and speed at low cost; you also have to provide the added value that allows printers to really stand out. Differentiation is a key growth factor."
