MGI Showcases New Digital Technology at GRAPH EXPO

MGI Digital Technology (Booth 441) will be launching a breakthrough new digital toner foiling solution, the iFOIL T, as well as new 100ppm digital production printing press, the Meteor DP1000 XL integrated with the inline DF Pro finishing system, and a brand new standalone digital finishing system, the DF Pro Solo, at GRAPH EXPO Booth #3013. Other noteworthy attractions will be an art gallery-style display of new customer packaging, publishing & marketing applications that utilize the renowned and dual PIA InterTech Technology Award-winning original iFOIL (2015) & JETvarnish 3D (2013) solutions.  

New Product Launch – The iFOIL T

The new MGI iFOIL T (Toner) – being demonstrated live in production mode with the MGI Meteor DP8700 S+ – is a dramatic innovation in print finishing. The product is a 100% Inline Hot Foiling solution that seamlessly integrates with the MGI Meteor DP series of production digital presses. For the first time, printers now have an integrated inline digital solution to create elegant, eye-catching foiled effects directly on uncoated paper using toner at high production speeds.

The iFOIL T & Meteor Press combination allows both Variable Data Printing (VDP) & Variable Data Foiling (VDF) for job-based customization and sheet-based personalization.

It is also compatible with 100s of different products from major foil manufacturers in many attractive design styles (Colors, Reflective, Metallic, Glitter, Holographic). Multiple roll & pass options include layered application of “foil over foil” and “toner over foil” for virtually unlimited color variations.

As an inline finishing solution, the iFOIL T offers Toner-Based Variable Data Foiling (VDF) on 100s of different substrates from major industry manufacturers – incl. most commercial papers, matte & glossy laminated surfaces, sheets with or without aqueous coating, layered paper, plastic, pvc and other coated materials.

The iFOIL T is a 100% digital solution that completely eliminates the time, labor, cleanup and cost of traditional offset methods of foil stamping. The iFOIL T uses no dies and no prepress makeready processes.

The MGI iFOIL T & Meteor DP Digital Press combination offers GRAPH EXPO printers, finishers and converters a tremendous competitive advantage for adding value – and revenue - to their standard toner ink output.
