COATER OPV - PrintShield
Inline Coating
Improve print quality before the ink reaches the board
PrintShield applies a uniform and consistent primer coating inline, helping improve color quality, registration and printing efficiency while reducing ink consumption and waste.
Higher print quality
Uniform primer application helps improve print consistency, color vibrancy and overall visual quality.
Lower ink consumption
Controlled primer application helps optimize ink usage, reducing production costs and unnecessary waste.
Accurate registration
The integrated transport concept supports stable movement and consistent registration throughout the coating process.
More finishing options
Inline coating and custom solutions can expand the range of finishes offered by a digital printing line.
How it works
Consistent coating integrated into the production flow
PrintShield prepares the corrugated surface with a controlled primer layer while maintaining stable sheet transport and registration.
1
Sheet enters
Corrugated sheets enter the coating unit as part of the inline digital workflow.
2
Controlled coating
Primer is applied evenly across the required surface with controlled thickness.
3
Stable transport
Controlled sheet movement helps maintain consistent registration through the coating process.
4
Ready for printing
The uniformly prepared surface supports consistent color and efficient ink usage.
Key features
Controlled coating for consistent print performance
Uniform primer coating
Provides a consistent primer layer designed to improve the quality and visual appearance of digital printing.
Controlled coating thickness
Uniform application helps maintain consistent print performance and reduce coating-related defects.
Registration accuracy
The transport system is designed to support stable and repeatable sheet registration throughout production.
Reduced ink consumption
A properly prepared surface can reduce ink requirements, helping lower costs and reduce waste.
Easy maintenance
The coater is designed with straightforward maintenance in mind to help minimize unnecessary downtime.
Versatile configuration
Accommodates different print media and allows the coating thickness to be adapted according to application requirements.
UNIFORM
Controlled coating
Better surface preparation. Better print results.
By applying a consistent primer layer before printing, PrintShield helps create a more controlled printing surface, supporting vibrant colors, repeatable quality and more efficient ink usage.
Production value
Improve quality while controlling production costs
Improve color consistency
Uniform surface preparation supports vibrant and more consistent printed colors.
Reduce reprints
Better registration and controlled coating help reduce defects that can lead to costly reprints.
Optimize ink usage
Primer coating improves surface preparation and can help reduce the amount of ink required.
Expand applications
Inline coating and finishing options create opportunities to offer a broader range of printed products.
