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

2D / 3D UV inkjet coater and digital hot-foil for packaging

JETvarnish 3D Web offers exceptional enhancement value to printing for the label market.
JETvarnish 3D Web enables self-adhesive label printers to perform embellishment, selective and embossed varnishing, and hot stamping finishes, fully digital without costly dies, screens or tools in bandwidths up to 420mm.
JETvarnish 3D Web is designed for selective varnishing (UV inkjet) in 2D / 3D relief on flexo, offset or digital printed web.
Plus, glamorous colored and metallic foil hot foil can be applied in the same process to embellish label designs.
A digitally finished label from the MGI solution provides eye-catching sensory enhancements and spectacular touch sensations that brand owners seek to distinguish their products in the marketplace.
JETvarnish 3D Web also has an in-line flexo station that applies a pre-treatment to those label media that were not originally intended for processing on inkjet machinery.
This elegant and flexible solution offers a great compatibility advantage for label printers using a wide range of printing technologies (digital, offset or flexo).
JETvarnish 3D Web brings added value and sensory dimensional textures to printed label output.
100% digital technology provides rapid prototyping, short-run customization flexibility, and the ability to use variable data to customize text and graphics on every part produced.
- Digital embellishment press for label and flexible packaging printers
- For 2D and 3D inline UV spot coating, hot foil embossing, die-cutting and grooving
- It offers perfect registration, a speed of up to 42 m/minute and the ability to create different thicknesses of up to 232 microns for tactile and embossed effects.
- Greater flexibility, shorter runs, faster turnaround times and customisation

Flexo UV Station
An integrated flexo station for rotary full-size coating. This station is used to apply a UV protection varnish or a primer before finishing. The module comes with a UV dryer.
The station is equipped with an anilox cylinder.

UV coating station
This station uses the award-winning MGI ink injection technology to produce a UV varnish coating. Any defined label area can be UV coated with or without 3D effects.
A simple prepress engineered grayscale TIFF file controls the surface area and thickness of the varnish applied on the printed roll. This 100% digital process eliminates traditional plates, screen and dies.

Varnish thicknesses
From 7 to 232 microns of varnish thickness (from 2D varnishes to 3D varnish effects).

In-line drying
The station is equipped with a UV dryer and a cooler for optimal control of the temperature of the paper web. The curing sequence also includes a special back and forth motion to dry each label and eliminate waste between runs.

Hot Foil Unit
The hot laminating station adds special effects and brand value to labeling and packaging products. Any defined label area can receive a digitally controlled foil with or without 3D effects.
A simple prepress engineered grayscale TIFF file controls the surface area and thickness of the varnish applied on the printed roll. This 100% digital process eliminates traditional plates, screen and dies.
The application of the foil can be omitted when not necessary.

Foil Coils
Foil coil width from 100 mm to 420 mm.
Foil coil length from 400m to 2000m.
Up to three simultaneous foil reels

Die unit
A semi-rotary die cutting unit is available as an option for finishing labels in line on the JETVARNISH 3DW machine.

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.
