Genius 52 UV

UV-sheet-fed offset printing machine
Waterless offset printing with UV technology: The Genius 52UV from KBA-Metronic sets new standards for quality and cost-effectiveness when printing on extreme materials such as films and hard foils (e.g. PVC, PET, ABS) and on sheets from 0.1 to 0.8 millimeter thick (depending on the substrate).

Creative minds face a real challenge when it comes to using the vast offering of non-absorbing materials (e.g. plastics such as PVC, PC, PS, ABS and PET) available for the jobbing, packaging and label printing sectors. There is a growing demand especially for plastic films. What was once a domain reserved for screen printing is now also open to offset printers who, equipped with UV and waterless technology, are well positioned to get a share of this high-growth market for themselves. But even screen printing businesses can use the greater flexibility provided by this new technology to extend their markets. In the lucrative packaging print sector, where quality of the highest standard is the order of the day, many print products can be manufactured inline with high process reliability and good cost-effectiveness. In other words: printing in four or five colors, ghosting-free with service-proven short inking units, on materials up to 0.8 mm thick.
