The UVgel quality advantage
A unique ‘print-then-cure’ technology with instant-dry gel inks, cured with UV LED lights. The advantage of a gel over a fluid is that it is possible to deposit more ink in less passes, without the ink flowing in and over the medium. Ensuring razor-sharp prints with a wide colour gamut and consistently repeatable over time and over different machines. Odourless and extremely durable.
Mixed glossy/matte finish in one print
The ingenious FLXfinish technology maximizes the UVgel advantage with either a single – or a two-step curing strategy. It enables you to print high value applications with a velvety matte finish for interior décor or a brilliant gloss finish for display and packaging, and now also mixed matte- gloss applications without additional costs.
