Following the success of its recent open days, i-Sub Digital is holding two additional dates dedicated to its Digi-Foil digital foiling and digital packaging proofing systems.
Taking place on 25-26 November at Hybrid Services' headquarters in Crewe, UK, the event will see i-Sub Digital partner with foil supplier Foilco and exclusive UK and Ireland Mimaki distributor Hybrid Services to demonstrate the Digi-Foil end-to-end system. By combining a Mimaki UJF desktop printer with foil and a heated applicator, foil effects can be achieved "in minutes without the time and cost involved in preparing traditional dies and foil presses", it is claimed.
For print houses specialising in packaging mock-ups, this can cut weeks or even months off project times as decisions based on colour-accurate prototypes can be made immediately. Foil can be applied to areas as small as 4pt text or dot size of 0.3mm, reducing material wastage dramatically and enabling the creation of eye-catching designs.
In addition to metallic colours, Digi-Foil can achieve holographic, patterned, multi-coloured, opaque and foil embossed effects and security markings - making the system ideal for the packaging and promotional products markets.
