MGI Announces World’s First B1 Scalable Digital Sheetfed Enhancement Press

MGI Digital Technology has announced the debut of a major new addition to its award-winning JETvarnish 3D digital enhancement product portfolio: the JETvarnish 3D Evolution.
 
The JETvarnish 3D Evolution is the world’s first B1 scalable sheetfed Digital Enhancement Press and features a modular and field upgradeable architecture, digital foiling and an upgradeable inkjet expansion system with three available substrate size options ranging from 52x120cm/20×47’’ (standard) to 64x120cm/25×47’’ and 75×120 cm/29×47’’.
  
The B1+ size (75×120 cm/29×47’’) format option is designed to give printers and converters the ability to run fully personalized short, medium and long runs in a cost-efficient and “die-less” manner for packaging applications. Every piece finished on all of MGI’s JETvarnish 3D systems can be a unique blend of digitally-embellished images, text, data and brand designs using spot varnish, 3D raised varnish and digitally embossed foil in one pass.
 
The JETvarnish 3D Evolution is an high-production solution that incorporates pallet stacking, automated inkjet head cleaning, a new automatic feeding system, as well as a new, state-of-the-art artificial intelligence-based sheet registration system, all of which will be unveiled and launched at drupa.
 
The first installation of the JETvarnish 3D Evolution was installed at a leading French commercial printer in March 2016.
