42 DIGITAL FINISHING
Binary solution
Since the first DM-Liner was introduced
in 2014, LEONHARD KURZ has
continuously developed its digital
finishing solutions. Based on a foundation that
has been installed worldwide, KURZ's third
generation of DM-JETLINER and DM-
UNILINER 2D delivers tried-and-tested
technology with improved design and customtailored
features.
From foil to paper labels: The
Panorama Portfolio
In addition to optimizing digital finishing unit
functions, this KURZ innovation has also
increased the number of potential substrates:
From plastic to paper, a broad assortment is
available. Thanks to this recent expansion, the
lineup ranges from products like shrink sleeve
labels to coated and uncoated papers
Thanks to the unique ‘inkjet on transfer layer’
technology, the surface to be printed remains
unchanged, despite the large number of
possible substrates. For customers this means,
on the one hand, precision control of
processes, and on the other, less time and
effort, because no in-depth knowledge is
required for production at consistently high
quality. It has never been easier to facilitate
design options and add shimmering
metallization when refining your own products.
DM-JETLINER: A wide range of
capabilities
The DM-JETLINER is ideal for companies
that already produce digitally printed labels
and would like to expand their design options.
This digital finishing module is easily
integrated into the production chain of an HP
Indigo 6900, thus allowing metallization
without changes to existing processes. The
DM-JETLINER applies finishes inline during
the preprint process, subsequently
overprinting them in the same process step.
DM-UNILINER 2D: The
independent all-rounder
The DM-UNILINER 2D also applies finishes
with glossy metallization and bright color
effects. This stand-alone production unit can
be used independent of printing systems and
processes. It is a solution that provides
preprint or postprint finishing, making the
DM-UNILINER 2D system suited to
companies that value flexibility with a high
degree of finishing automation. In particular,
because order size is not decisive here,
appealing decorations can be applied to
smaller product runs and special editions as
well.
Sustainable, efficient solutions
from a single source
Both the DM-JETLINER and the DM-
UNILINER 2D combine the advantages of
digital finishing over those of classic
embossing processes. They are foil-saving
units with minimal set-up time and high
printing speed, and are thus a sustainable
finishing solution that significantly reduces
energy consumption. Embossing tools are
moreover no longer necessary, while waste is
also held to a minimum because fewer test
runs are required than with conventional
methods.
And there is another factor which increases
process efficiency. As a one-stop shop,
LEONHARD KURZ provides perfectly aligned
systems, from the machine and consumables
such as transfer products and ink, to service.
The experts at KURZ are glad to assist
customers with queries related to technology
and production, both via remote support and
on-site service.
