Monday 26. May 2008 - Dual Functional cold foil stamping and hologram image transfer machine

This is the first machine that has ever been produced in combining cold foil stamping and hologram image transfer in one machine. It is a value added concept and is an off line process.

1. Applying a radiation curable adhesive on the conventional lithographic plate as a bonding agent to the metallic foil to transfer its images onto the surface, regardless how detail of the half tones and find line screen images as a litho plate.

2. This technology eliminates the high cost of making a hot stamping die and a complicated and time consuming process for etching the metallic die. In the process, only a photo of the litho plate is needed for its simplicity and accuracy.

3. The minimum spoilage has been maintained on this machine due to the controlling of the space between two adjacent printed sheets.

4. It can be applied on the paper substrate prior to printing or after printing. A special metallic printing effect can be achieved in combination with the hologram image transfer process.
