Akash Kumar, marketing head, Monotech Systems, said, “We have introduced the print enhancement equipment especially for photo printers. We realised that entry- level and small photo printers are struggling to enhance their photo albums, due to the cost of high-end enhancement equipment.”

Kumar said as the company’s principal was not aware of the specific needs of Indian market, so Monotech helped it to make a customised machine for Indian market, especially for design and use of substrates. “According to the need of the Indian market, we have merged digital UV and foiling system so that both processes can be done in one go,” Kumar added.

Both the print enhancement equipment function on inkjet with micro piezo head technology.

Digiglow can handle sheet size of 310x550 mm and up to 1,000 gsm paper. Varnished thickness of Digiglow is 250 microns. Foil 3DP can foil a sheet of 325x550 mm and from 80 gsm onwards. The thickness of foiling starts from 100 microns.
