ROLAND InlineCoater
Know-how makes the difference manroland’s inline coating module technology is based on 26 years of experience. Initially the focus was on the protective function of dispersion coating but gloss effects rapidly became very important. This was followed by gold and silver applications made possible by double coating modules using anilox roller/chambered doctor blade technology. And then the possibilities were expanded even further by the increasing use of UV inks and coatings along with the enormous progress made in application technologies and materials. Applying a primer coating over conventional inks enabled matt/gloss UV effects to be produced in a quality previously unknown.
A variable to the InlineCoater is the ROLAND 700 Ultima which is with the InlineCoater being located at either the beginning of the press - before the printing units, or in the middle of the printing units or even before the InlinePerfector. The primary application is high-quality printing and coating of both sides of the sheet in one pass through the press. Particularly for long runs that must be produced in the shortest possible time, this process will become widely accepted. After the coating module the sheet passes along a dedicated drying path and then into either of the other printing units or a applicator unit ready for perfecting.
Another version of the ROLAND 700 Ultima features a coating module plus drying modules immediately after the sheet turning station. For special effects with top-quality packaging or brochure printing. These special presses are particularly suitable for applying opaque white or metallic effect coatings upstream of the offset printing units.
Job turnaround times can be drastically reduced since a second or even a third offline process is saved. This reduces labour costs, fewer logistics steps are needed, and less space is required for semi-finished goods. And another advantage not to be underestimated is that by producing the job in one pass colour and register for the complete job can be checked so there is no risk of problems only showing up during a second pass.
