PRODUCT OF THE WEEK: Morgana DigiCoater

摘要

Afterseeing similar products at Graph Expo, Morgana launched the DigiCoater at Drupa to a warm reception, says Barney Cox. As firms seek to produce shorter runs and more targeted work, for both cost and environmental reasons, they are increasingly switching to digital print, But like litho, digital often needs protection to enable it to be finished or to pass through the post without a polybag. Additionally, it may benefit from a coating to enhance its aesthetics. Laminating has previously been the popular choice for giving digital print a protective layer or added oomph, but environmental concerns about the process are causing many firms to look for alternatives.
