Digital Embellishment
on Uncoated Media
The ZRX is the first of its kind, pairing the world renowned H&B Chamber-Anilox System with industry leading inkjet technology. The combination of analog and digital has lead to new embellishment applications the industry has never seen before
Embellish Without Lamination
The ZRX has a chamber/anilox flood coater before the embellishment section of the machine. This allows the printer to add a barrier coating to allow a smooth and impervious layer on to which the ink jet polymer and/or foil is applied. As the world starts pushing back on single-use-plastics, consumers and brands have been pushing back on the use of lamination. The ZRX allows for amazing embellishments, without the need for the lengthy, costly, and less-eco friendly lamination process.
The sheet is first flooded with AQ or UV coating on H&B's proven chamber-anilox system. Next a flat or tactile layer of Digital UV spot coating is applied. Finally, a layer of hot foil is added to give your print the sparkle it deserves.
Sheet monitoring by various sensors help reduce accidents, and work to keep your plant safe. With features such as sheet tracking and automatic lifting of the dryer, your coater can help prevent accidents before they happen.
Create and edit digital embellishment files in minutes. Traditional embellishment takes hours or even days to make a single plate, using non-eco friendly methods. The ZRX saves time, money, and creates more embellishment options for customers.
