Unwinder	Maximum roll diameter capacity: 850 mm Standard inside core diameter: 3 inches Maximum roll weight: ±120 kg
UV Flexo Station	An integrated flexo station for full size sleeve coating in rotary. This station is used to apply a UV protection varnish or primer prior to finishing. The module comes with an UV dryer. The station is equipped with an anilox cylinder. Additional anilox cylinders are available as upgrade options.
Spot UV Coating and Embossing Station	This station uses MGI award-winning inkjet technology for producing Spot UV Coating. Any defined label area can receive Spot UV Coating with or without raised 3D texture effects. A simple grey level TIFF file designed by Prepress controls the surface area and the thickness of the varnish applied over the printed roll. This 100 % digital process eliminates traditional plates, screens and dies.
Varnish thickness	From 7² to 232² μm of varnish thickness (from 2D flat coats to 3D raised effects).
Inline curing	The unit is equipped with an UV dryer and a cooling drum for optimum web temperature control. The curing sequence also includes a special forward and backward roll motion to dry each label and eliminate waste between runs.
UV Varnish	Gloss varnish 99 GU
Hot Foiling Station	The hot foiling station adds luxurious effects and brand value to label and packaging products. Any defined label area can receive digitally-controlled foil with or without raised effects. A simple grey level TIF file designed by Prepress controls the surface area and the definition of the foil applied on the printed roll. This 100 % digital process eliminates traditional dies, plates and screens. Foil application can be bypassed when not necessary.
Foil rolls	Foils are delivered on rolls: Foil widths from 100 mm up to 420 mm Foil roll core diameter: 1’’ and 3’’ Foil lengths from 400 m up to 2,000 m Up to 3 rolls can be used simultaneously during the production
