Open the doors to digital embossing and hot foil stamping with your JETvarnish 3D and iFOIL solution.
Through a revolutionary digital process, the iFOIL eliminates the need for films, dies and makeready, allowing you to produce hot foil stamping and embossing jobs from one to thousands of sheets with both very high profitability and ease of use. From magazine covers, books, brochures, labels, to invitations and packaging, offer new services and exceptional benefits to your customers.
Spectacular and unique effects are now available within a 100% digital process: - embossing and debossing - multiple colored foils applied in one pass (up to 3 colors) - variable data printing (VDP) on Hot Foil Stamping and/or Spot UV Coating (text or image) - and foil on foil Exploiting both visual and tactile excitement that the JETvarnish 3D and iFOIL brings, not only will you now be able to finally bring Hot Foil Stamping in house, but you will be able to do it with virtually no set up and high speeds but also the possibility to offer a new never before seen finish; the personalization of embossed hot foil.
Easy to use, iFOIL works in-line with the JETvarnish 3D digital spot UV coater. A software suite allows you to easily understand and modify layouts, with sizes ranging from A4 format to 52x105cm and on paper substrates ranging from 150 to 700 microns. iFOIL uses standard market foils.
It is possible to make hot stamping with iFOIL from printing done on offset and digital presses including Meteor Digital Press Series.
