Commercial Digital Embellishment Technology

Elevate your print products with digital embellishment technology, such as commercial foiling and spot varnishing. These finishing techniques selectively apply foil or varnish to the prints, highlighting key design elements and enhancing tactile appeal. 

Whether it's the shimmering brilliance of foil or the elegant sheen of spot varnish, these visual effects add a touch of texture and interest to the product. Make a lasting impression on your customers with that extra flair on your packaging, marketing materials, and more.

Digital Embellishment Technology Features

Our hot foil stamping machines deliver exceptional quality and pin-point precision, with state-of-the-art inkjet technology, bringing the most intricate designs to life with a wide variety of digital and hot stamping foils. Their versatility also means that you can flawlessly achieve these results across a wide range of substrates, including paper, card stock, and plastics.

On top of that, the machines’ user-friendly interfaces and automated features make it easy and quick to produce stunning embellishments on your prints, for that final flourish. For example, all our digital embellishment machines use Artificial Intelligence Smartscanner (AIS) technology for automatic registration, speeding up job completion and minimising waste. These benefits make it viable to do embellishment jobs at volume, increasing profitability and giving your company an edge in the competitive market.

Digital Embellishment Benefits

Konica Minolta offers a comprehensive range of machines tailored for high-precision spot varnish printing, adaptable for both short- and long-run production. Reimagine digital embellishment printing when you choose from our various technologies, including:

• Digital foiling: The process of applying foil to prints through heat and pressure to create a metallic effect on the print. This adds an extra luxuriousness that attracts and retains attention, as well as enhances the perceived quality of the print. 
• Digital varnish: These systems provide exceptional accuracy and control for creating intricate spot varnish effects, integrating textures that are thicker by 22 microns onto prints. The 3D textures and raised elements from digital embossing add uniqueness to the products.
• Digital embossing: Raised spot UV or digital foil for an extra texture that enhances the visual and tactile interest of the print. This technique adds a personal touch to the print and is effective in generating strong audience interest. 
• Spot UV inkjet varnishing: This technology offers high-speed and efficient application of a flat, glossy varnish on small areas, lines and text. This technique is ideal for both small-format and large-format printing, with visual and tactile textures that elevate the print value of packaging, labels, and graphics. 
• Selective varnish: These systems combine printing and varnishing in a single pass, streamlining your production process and reducing turnaround times.
• Variable Data Embellishment: Also known as Variable Data Printing (VDP), this technology enables each print run to be customised to meet the customer's specific requirements.
