Superb Gloss
Spot UV Coating has been developed by Duplo to be compatible with HP electronink, o set and corona treated OPP laminate (*) and deliver a beautiful 99 gloss level UV finish. Spot print onto matt ‘soft touch’ laminate for a dynamic result.
Precision as Standard
Twin cameras and the Duplo IRM (Image Register Mark) ensure alignment precision, within 0.2mm accuracy along the entire sheet length. With an automatic set-up and adjustment for every sheet, extending from XY image shift to stretch, skew (rotation) and twist (distortion) that are particularly common after laminating. This is all performed in real-time, allowing the operator to concentrate on other tasks.
Easy Operation
Effcient operation starts with the operator interface that allows jobs to be quickly set-up, saved and recalled for reprinting. Furthermore, being Windows PC compatible, means that the software can also be installed in the prepress area to use the integral job preparation tools, as well as by sales/accounts teams for estimating purposes. Instead of incorporating proprietary and unfamiliar job editing tools, the open architecture of the Spot UV GUI allows other Windows compatible software such as Acrobat and image editing programmes, to be run directly at the operator console.
Safe and Convenient
Simple operation extends to machine operator’s safety and convenience, by providing the Sensory Coating in easy loading vacuum sealed cartridges. An automatic cleaning system ensures the ink jet heads remain at their optimum condition, while also ending any requirement for the operator to access them for cleaning, which would typically be required at the start and end of each day.
Going to great lengths to be Productive
The Spot UV coater supports a sheet size of 364 x 740mm, making it compatible with any “SRA3” format digital production press, or even a B2 sheet cut lengthways. Running at a healthy 1080 x SRA3/B3 sheets an hour, means that the Spot UV has the functionality to run 600 sheets of 250gsm, in 30 minutes of unattended operation.
From Print to Documents
Efficient and cost effective production is not simply about the speed of the press, or cost per copy of a printed page, but about the complete end-to-end process. The Duplo Spot UV has been built for the needs of the modern digital print shop, where accurate production and rapid delivery is critical. The Spot UV is built for digital finishing, drying instantly and ready for job completion on compatible market leading finishing systems, such as Duplo’s DC-646 and DC-746 cutter/creasers.
