Konica Minolta announces new UV coater with digital hot

Konica Minolta Business Solutions has announced the availability of its AccurioShine 3600 inkjet spot UV coater, with the digital hot-stamping iFoilOne in-line module, using MGI’s varnish technology.

The AccurioShine 3600 enables in-house spot UV varnishing, from prototyping to full production, without the need for screens, plates or dies.

It utilises technology for adding 2D and 3D multiple coating and dimensional texture effects in a single pass. With a maximum supported paper size of B3+ (364mm x 750mm), and is suitable for packaging on demand as well as greeting card and photobook covers.

When combined with the iFoilOne in-line hot foil stamping module, Konica Minolta said high-impact finishing effects are possible including personalised embossed foil.

The AccurioShine 3600 also supports Variable Data Printing (VDP), adding more impact to personalised packages and labels.

Jon Hiscock, head of production & industrial print at Konica Minolta Business Solutions (UK), said: “With the shift to digital printing, more emphasis is being placed on digitalising prepress and post-press processes, alongside on-demand short run printing. By combining the AccurioShine 3600 with other Konica Minolta digital colour printers, our customers not only grow their business in new ways, but also add value to their customers, by providing cost-effective, impactful, premium short-run embellishments to their day-to-day print jobs.”
