Best Offline UV Coater option

[bsquiric]

Anybody have any concrete thoughts about small format 12x19 size offline UV coaters? Just getting ready to source one for our new dc5000ap and was wondering if someone has already done their homework on this.

Thanks

Would like to help you with your choice for a UV Coater. I have been supporting this field since 2000. I supply both the machinery and the Coatings. Process support is very important with your decision. Our Model XLM660 would be a good fit for your sheet size.
You can run with Feeder or as handfed systems. Starting price 13,500.00

Good Luck!

Tek Lighting makes a great coater...I believe they have one in a 14" format that would work great for digital output

My humble opinion. Tec Lighting in Brea, California. Ours has been great. Search this forum for other
opinions on their machines. I think you'll be impressed.

what's the price range for those machines?

Dear all,
we have a high number of sheets to be spot varnished. i.e gloss varnish to be applied on certain images only. unfortunately we dont have an online coater but in some cases we have used our 2 color press to varnish matt.
This particular job requires gloss varnish and i have been told that it is not possible on 2 colro press as the viscosity of varnish is such that the liquid seeps down.
CAN i Run gloss varnish on an offset machine ??

I have worked with some shops who are coating with their offset presses. The key thing is to make sure you have a blanket that is larger than the sheet so the coating never reaches the edge of the sheet on all four sides. This will eliminate the leakage of coating which would get on your grippers and cause a mess. Make sure you are using UV Blankets.
