Entry level MGI 3D embellisher a good option for printers of all sizes

The arrival of the entry-level MGI JetVarnish 3D One digital print embellishment press on Australian shores in April is set to give printers of all sizes a more affordable option to produce value-added 2D and 3D print work to help their customers stand out from the crowd.

Konica Minolta Australia is preparing to launch the press – which can be used on a variety of applications including packaging, books, magazines, business cards, menus, photobooks and greeting cards – in Australia next month after it was initially shown at PRINTING United in October last year.

The press is part of MGI’s JetVarnish range but has a smaller operational footprint and its affordable price makes it a more realistic proposition for all printers in Australia, no matter the size. It has also been designed to complement Konica Minolta’s AccurioPress and AccurioPrint digital print systems but can also operate as a standalone device.

The MGI JV 3D One press can can process up to 3500 A4 sheets per hour on a range of sheet sizes up to of 364 x 750mm.

Sue Threlfo, general manager of production and industrial print at Konica Minolta Australia said, “The MGI JV 3D One will give all commercial printers access to an embellishment press regardless of their size, offering them a way to differentiate themselves and stand out from competitors.

“Rather than outsourcing embellishment printing, commercial printers can leverage the MGI JV 3DOne to do embellishment in-house. Digital embellishment offers printers the opportunity to add value to the printed page and subsequently achieve margins.

“Konica Minolta and MGI work very closely to meet the needs of customers with the right solutions and products for the right applications. For Konica Minolta, service and support are paramount, so customers can rest assured their presses will be reliable and, when maintenance is required, they’ll be up and running again with minimal disruption.”

 

The MGI JV 3DOne press features include:
•        digital print embellishment with UV coating and embossing
•        spot varnish editor for job modification
•        varying varnish thickness, between 21 and 116 micron in one pass
•        AIS SmartScanner registration technology which will minimise crop marks, waste and set-up time
•        a job cost calculator with job management tool
•        both 2D and 3D tactile effects.
