MGI JETvarnish 3D inkjet UV 2D / 3D and digital hot-foil coater

First digital equipment for UV varnishing with reserve, both in 2D and 3D, with a format up to 64 × 120 cm that uses last generation inkjet technology.
The JETvarnish 3D unit is ideal for short, medium and long runs, and is positioned as the benchmark for quality, flexibility and profitability in the graphic arts market.
JETvarnish 3D has a very fast start-up as it does not use plates or screens, does not generate waste, and produces between 1 and 3,000 sheets / hour without complications.
The JETvarnish 3D system accepts a wide range of media, with sheet widths ranging from 210 to 520mm and thicknesses from 135 to 600g / m2. If you add the visual impact of UV varnishing reserved for book covers, brochures, containers, folders, business cards ... the only thing that limits the possibilities of this equipment is the imagination. Allows varnishing with a gloss, ultra-gloss or satin finish.
The JETvarnish 3D unit's built-in UV curing system dries sheets “on the fly” via a conveyor belt, without the need for ozone or solvents. The sheets arrive completely dry in the high capacity stacker, allowing them to be handled immediately.
It's very easy to add sparse varnish to any project; just add a fifth color to the design, highlighting the areas where the reservation effects should be applied. After printing the document in four-color on the machine of your choice (digital, offset or flexo), load the fifth color into the integrated station of the JETvarnish 3D system.
MGI's unique inkjet technology ensures perfect results, from the first page to the last. The piezoelectric heads (drop-on-demand) allow to reproduce lines of only 0.3 mm or that occupy the entire width of the sheet (maximum width 515 mm).
Thanks to MGI's proprietary varnish formula, users can automatically switch between varnishing with or without reserve, without the need to clean equipment.

Why MGI JETvarnish 3D Technology Has Become The Nation's Leading Digital Beautification Technology

MGI's new 2D / 3D UV inkjet and hotfoild 100% digital coating technology, JETVarnish 3D, allows the generation of up to 12 different effects or finishes; 6 thanks to its selective and embossed varnish application (eg contrasting matt varnish-selective flat satin, textured effects combining different thicknesses or 3D varnish reliefs, 3D relief ...) and another 6 thanks to its hot stamping iFoil module (eg holograms, a wide variety of textured foils, metallic embossing ...); creating a completely differentiating visual and tactile experience with high added value never seen before.
Digital varnish technology is perfectly suited to a wide range of different applications, from books to exclusive business cards, high-end invitations, point of sale materials, packaging, labels ...
Four are the essential points for which commercial, packaging and label printers are betting on MGI as a reference provider in digital embellishment solutions.
First of all, to produce with a totally industrial solution or equipment, with a fully operational and proven technology, both for UV varnish and hot foil stamping. In addition, it is a versatile technology, capable of adapting to all materials and products, integrating perfectly into your production flow and with a high level of quality in both varnish and stamping. Finally, and very importantly, select a manufacturer with effective technical and customer service and an R&D department capable of meeting your needs, because this investment represents a strategic challenge for each and every one of the companies that have bet by them.
