Labelexpo Day 3: Kurz launches DM-Jetliner

Foiling specialist Kurz is launching a new solution to work with HP Indigo digital printers: the DM-Jetliner, which sits in-line in front of the HP Indigo 6800 and 6900.

Stephane Royare at Kurz told Print21 that, “Kurz is the leader in foiling, and we recognised we need to provide a solution for the digital world. We have worked with HP Indigo, and now have the DM-Jetliner. We have the first two in the field, and it is now available.”

The DM-Jetliner lays down the foil first, then the HP Indigo prints on top. The Jetliner operates at full press speed. Royare said, “Kurz is already a machinery manufacturer – we make machines for the security and plastics sector, so we know how to build. The technology for the Jetliner is developed to provide the optimum solution to label printers.”

The DM-Jetliner is suitable for self-adhesive labels made from a wide variety of plastics and coated papers, and processes roll widths of 150 to 350mm. The key feature of DM-Liner finishing is its flat, color printing equivalent application of the metallisation, which makes what Kurz says is problem-free multi-coloured overprinting possible thanks to the non-bulkiness of the coating.

The Kurz solution also offers diffractive designs and continuous holograms. These serve not only as decorative eye-catchers, but also provide a barrier to counterfeiting.
