PERFECT PRINT INSPIRED BY NATURE
Inspired by the creation of color in nature, we have implemented the first such environmentally friendly offset printing technology in Poland. We called our eco-finishing technology imago because it mimics the process of color formation on insect shells.
Imago in Nature is the name of the mature form of an insect. What impresses us – printers the most about them is the perfect beauty and precision of the “print” made by the hand of Nature on their tiny bodies!
PRINTING THAT ENCOURAGES CREATIVITY
"Colors painted with light" - a hybrid combination of pigment and structural paints allows you to obtain dynamic color effects depending on the angle of incidence of light
Unlimited spectrum of metallic foil colors thanks to the use of IMAGO technology
Holographic and metallic effects, including tonal transitions
Realism and precision of printing - clarity of elements thinner than a hair
Attractive sensory effects (fragrance print, varnish structures, soft touch, gloss/matt)
Gloss/matt effects - different degrees of varnish matting and the possibility of using matt/gloss foil
EKO-FINISHING WHICH RESPECTS LIFE
• Biodegradability – with imagoTM eco-finisihing products are recyclable like ordinary paper!
• Energy saving – as much as 13 times less electricity consumption* thanks to LED UV lamps throughout the process
• Up to 8 times lower carbon footprint* compared to hot stamping
• Low emission – protection of the environment and the health and comfort of the printer’s work – no ozone, UV radiation and high temperature emissions; mercury-free process
• Printing and finishing in one pass – lower energy consumption and lower emissions thanks to the operation of only one machine in one cycle
*in comparision to traditional UV lamps
PACKAGING AND ADVERTISEMENT WHICH SELL HIGH QUALITY AND PRESTIGE OF THE PRODUCT
Various forms of packaging: closed full boxes, with a window, with a handle, with a sealing tape, with an opening string, etc.
Printing an outstanding advertisement on paper, cardboard and laminated cardboard (e.g. folders, displays, wobblers, advertising pages and inserts in the press, etc.)
Cost-effective even with low runs, because printing does not require additional expensive machine tools
WHY TO CHOOSE ECO-FINISHING IMAGO™?
ECO-FINISHING IMAGO™
• A wide range of colors on metallic foil – printing in one pass
HOT STAMPING
• Limitations due to the color of the foil, high cost of less popular colors
ECO-FINISHING IMAGO™
• Highest fitting accuracy – repeatable readability of elements thinner than a human hair
HOT STAMPING
• Limitations in making extremely small and very large metallic elements
ECO-FINISHING IMAGO™
• Additional structural effects possible (different diameters of anilox rolls)
• Fragrance printing (with capsules)
HOT STAMPING
• Visual and sensory effects resulting from the foil pattern
• Scent printing is not possible
ECO-FINISHING IMAGO™
• High scratch and fade resistance
• The ability to use sophisticated security
HOT STAMPING
• Possible susceptibility to micro scratches (tarnishing)
ECO-FINISHING IMAGO™
• Refined product disposal identical to plain paper (blue bin)
• FSC certified paper (on demand)
• 100% Biodegradable paints and varnishes
HOT STAMPING
• Laminate difficult to recycle
• Waste thrown into mixed waste bin (black)
ECO-FINISHING IMAGO™
• Up to 8 times lower CO2 footprint thanks to the use of LED UV technology
• Over 13 times lower energy consumption
HOT STAMPING
• Energy-intensive thermal process, Refinements in additional processes (work of many machines in a technological line)
ECO-FINISHING IMAGO™
• Low emission process
• No ozone or mercury vapor is produced
• No UV radiation, no emission of high temperature and harmful substances produced under its influence
HOT STAMPING
• High-emission process – requires many expensive installations (high purchase and operating costs)
ECO-FINISHING IMAGO™
• Eliminate multiple processes and replace with one Implementation time – definitely shorter
HOT STAMPING
• Dedicated dies = long lead time + additional manufacturing cost
ECO-FINISHING IMAGO™
HOT STAMPING
• High cost for low print run quantity
• The selected color of the metallic foil has an impact on the final cost of the product
