The Manroland sheet-fed offset printing press with ten printing and two coating units along with a cold foil module is expected to become operational in 2016.
The machine’s InlineFoiler 2.0 applies cold foil to the carton and enables multiple printing and coating with conventional or UV inks in a single pass. It can further add embossing, special effects and spot coating to the packaging.
rlc | packaging claims that the InlineFoiler uses enough foil to cover the required image area, thereby minimising material consumption.
Additionally, an inline colour measurement system combined with the InlineInspector uses an inline high-speed camera to monitor each individual sheet and detect even the smallest defects in order to maintain quality standards even at maximum speeds.
