Hey o!
I'm looking for opinions, anecdotes, tales, etc regarding using an offline UV coater for digital outputs. Namely the KM c6500 and the TEC Lighting Xtra Coat Mini.
My new job is at a vertical market printer (auto-industry) who is trying to slowly move more services in-house rather than going to our regular vendors. One service in particular is small format, short-run, full color projects (business/post cards, flyers, etc). We're doing well with the digital output from the Konica but without a coater available we still need to vendor out many projects.
Now, short of a super-b 4-color offset (someday!), we're hoping to move the coated projects in house with a stand alone coater. Our bindery supplier suggested the TEC Xtra Coat Mini but I'm having trouble finding end-user information about the machine for comparison. Hence, I turn to you PrintPlanet community!
Any advice greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
