Cold Foil technology a superior alternative for job enhancement by manroland

• Decrease Increase

Manroland’s latest product is the Cold Foil technology that is claimed to produce enhanced quality in packaging, label and commercial print jobs through inline overprinting of the metallic images in the printing units downstream of the unit where the foil is applied. These images are only separated from the carrier foil and transferred to the paper in the areas where adhesive ink has been applied. Additional costs for expensive embossing forms, as with the hot-foil process, are eliminated, as are additional outside production steps. The cold foil can be handled inline, thus minimising the steps in the process chain, which means the order can be delivered sooner. In comparison to hot-foil stamping, the cold-foil application enables ultra-fine lines and elements to be reproduced and realised - a characteristic that has proved its worth in packaging printing when it comes to integrating security elements. The printing units can be used as normal printing units if foil applications are not involved. Changeover requires only a few manual operations. The Roland InlineFoiler Prindor is available for the Roland 500 as an upgrade, and can likewise be retrofitted for the Roland 700 HiPrint series as from 2004. ...cont´d
