Heidelberg at Drupa 2008: Technology Geared Towards Customer Benefits, Large-format Printing

Varimatrix 105 CSF diecutter

At drupa 2008, Heidelberg will be showcasing the Varimatrix 105 CSF die cutter (CSF stands for cutting, stripping, and foil embossing) can be used for hot foil embossing and as a die cutter with stripping function. This makes the machine ideal for commercial and packaging printers who are looking to offer their customers a comprehensive service and added value thanks to a wider range of surface finishing options. Metallic effects and multistage/relief embossing can be applied efficiently in a single pass using the hot foil module of the Varimatrix 105 CSF. The cost-effective technology of the hot foil embosser is highly impressive. It is possible to heat only specific zones, which means that the complete plate does not have to be heated when working with small formats. In addition, a variety of feeds optimizes foil use.
