Grafotronic - Digital Finishing Machines

fully modular HIGH-END Digital embellishing

Grafotronic HAPTIC DIGITAL delivers outstanding results and reliability thanks to the full integration of the most robust inkjet technology available. DEM (Digital Embellishing Module) delivers a seamless application of specialty finishes – it can be used for digital spot varnish or for a full range of foil effects, including metallic foiling, hologram application and tactile finishes. It is compatible with many different substrates offering maximum flexibility.

Grafotronic HAPTIC DIGITAL represents greater efficiency and simplicity in embellishing labels. This sustainable finishing solution applies decorative finishes with minimal waste and without the need for tooling like printing plates or screens, which significantly reduces production time and costs.

The HAPTIC DIGITAL offers unique advantages in the production of labels for: food and beverage, cosmetics, chemical, pharmaceutical and tech sectors – especially for short run work. Digital cold foiling is also used to enhance brand protection with anti-counterfeiting features.

Thanks to Grafotronic’s 100% modular concept the HAPTIC DIGITAL module has been designed for rapid integration and retrofitting and can be combined with any of Grafotronic’s DCL² modules.

Printing always on the same surface ensures consistent and repeatable quality
Application method is consistently the same which simplifies requirements and modifications when substrates are changed
Can be used for substitution of metallized paper thanks to overprintability
Huge variety of colors and metallic shades feasible as well as impressive high gloss effects
Changing from job to job without stopping and full flexibility in job size with almost no waste thanks to Automatic Job Recognition system

digital foiling with Domino K600i

The Domino K600i digital printer lays down the image / pattern for the foil on the substrate using a UV curable adhesive. The foil is laminated onto the substrate using Grafotronic’s proven 100% servo-controlled lamination system and passed under a UV lamp, curing the foil to the substrate.
Foil that does not have any adhesive under it is delaminated from the media, revealing the desired foiled image / pattern cured on the substrate.

Cost-effective alternative to screen printing (using high opacity white ink)
Reduced start-up time and less operator intervention with I-TECH CleanCap (cleaning and capping technology)
Consistent print colour and superior reliability thanks to I-TECH ACTIFLOW ink circulating system
Seamless print across the full web ensured by I-TECH STITCHLINK micro motor controller technology
