Inline UV Casting and Foiling System Further Strengthens High Value-Added Printing

RYOBI has developed an inline UV casting and foiling system for the RYOBI 750 series. The inline UV casting and foiling system incorporated into RYOBI 750 series presses enables inline holographic coating that adds hologram effect and foiling to printed matter. By bringing high value-added holography coating or foiling inline, productivity is raised and advanced holographic coating can be delivered with stable registration accuracy.

Square up to Coatings

Japanese press manufacturer Shinohara is showing the C2 machine, made by Chinese firm MMT, on the end of a Shinohara 755 press Stand A11, Hall 4. The C2, which stands for cast and cure, uses a plastic film bearing a pattern to create the holographic effect in a UV-cured coating, which is then cured and the plastic film stripped from the printed sheet.

Shinohara is showing the MMT C2 running inline with press taking sheets directly from the delivery, but it can also be configured as a standalone unit.

An offline approach is more common as the C2 runs at 5,000-8,000sheets per hour (sph) compared with the 15,000sph speed of the Shinohara 75 Series.

Shinohara’s display of added value post-press working with its presses also includes a demonstration of the Cito RSP inline cutter creaser running on the last unit of a five-colour B3 Shinohara 52 Series Machine.
