UV coating is a process whereby a polymer resin changes from a liquid to a solid with the help of an ultraviolet light source. UV coating can be a direct replacement for lamination and provides a protective covering that adds value to any document, increasing the vibrancy and richness of its colours (as well as protection from scratching and fingerprints).
The UV53F is an upgraded hand fed model UV53 into line with high pile feeder. It offers competitive cost of investment for automatic machine and the cost of consumables in the long term is remarkably lower than lamination.

Note *coating effect depends on the varnish type as well as on the type and quality of paper. The best coating result can be reached on the gloss, coated papers. Uncoated papers absorb varnish and UV varnishing effect may not be satisfying.
