DALLAS, TX—TRESU Americas announces the first order for an iCoat coater to work inline with an HP Indigo 10000 digital sheet fed press. Sold together, the iCoat and HP Indigo 10000 will be delivered early in 2016 to a customer location in North Eastern region of the U.S.
Capable of seamlessly integrating inline with a digital sheet fed press for folding carton and/or commercial printing applications, the TRESU iCoat provides an efficient way of applying protective and aesthetically enhancing coatings in a single pass after the printing operation.
The iCoat features a flexo unit that can apply spot or flood varnishes on board material between 180 and 500 gsm at up to 5000 sheets/hour. Furthermore, it is optimized for fast setup times thanks to “tool less” quick change sleeve technology and its ability to switch easily between UV and aqueous varnish sets.
In addition to this, TRESU Americas has received two orders for chillers to provide process temperature control on the HP Indigo 10000 press format. TRESU Group has a unique chilling solution available for all Series 4 press formats (10000, 20000, and 30000) from HP Indigo.
Scott Hibbs, president, TRESU Americas, comments: “The iCoat’s capability for seamless integration and high performance at speed provides the basis for a lean digital sheet fed workflow. This in turn allows commercial and packaging printers to offer high value, short run printing solutions, uniquely possible by the digital process, such as personalised product campaigns, serialized products and even samples on demand.”
