UV varnishes
UV varnish machines are solutions for applying UV varnish to the entire surface of an arksha of paper or plastic material.
Solutions for both digital and offset printing technologies.
Check out the groundbreaking Printflood series, which provides a very high quality applied UV varnish layer, featuring the highest gloss and smoothness of the varnish layer on the market! Modular design provides the ability to add a feeder, receiver and reverser.

Ecological aspects - varnishing as an alternative to foiling
Problems with recycling foiled materials
Traditional filming creates paper-plastic composites that are difficult to recycle due to problematic layer separation. Foiled materials often end up in landfills instead of recyclers, generating a long-term environmental problem.
Ecological advantages of varnishing
UV varnishing is a much more environmentally friendly process than foiling. It generates no plastic waste, and varnished papers can be recycled in standard processes. Energy consumption in the varnishing process is also lower than in foiling, further reducing the carbon footprint of production.
Economic benefits of varnishing
Lower cost of consumables
The cost of lacquer per sheet is much lower than the cost of film, allowing higher margins on refined products. The "Auto Purge" function on modern varnish machines automatically cleans the hoses of varnish, minimizing material waste and consumption of cleaning solutions.
Increasing the value of products
Lacquered products fetch higher market prices due to their premium aesthetics. The depth of color, elegant finish and durable scratch protection make lacquered products more attractive to end customers, resulting in higher margins.
Automation of the painting process
Ease of use compared to foiling
Varnishing is a much simpler process than foiling. Modern varnishing machines are equipped with intelligent control systems that allow all parameters to be set from a touch panel. Automatic functions such as cleaning, energy-saving mode and self-diagnosis facilitate the daily work of operators.
Double-sided varnishing technology
Advanced varnishers offer unique double-sided varnishing technology without additional adjustments. The "Auto Gap" function intelligently activates rollers only at the beginning and end of the sheet, preventing paint transfer to the underside and guaranteeing perfectly clean, double-sided finished products.
Compatibility with various printing technologies
Cooperation with digital printers
Varnishers have been specially adapted to work with prints from digital printers from various manufacturers. In some cases, it is required to crown the prints before varnishing, which ensures optimized adhesion of the varnish to the printed surface.
Versatility of applications
Modern varnish machines support a wide range of paper weights (120-350 g/m²) and formats up to 330 x 508 mm, allowing finishing of a variety of products - from business cards to catalogs and posters. Varnishing speeds of up to 13 m/min ensure high production efficiency.
Growing popularity among photographic manufacturers
The photography industry particularly appreciates the advantages of UV varnishing. Lacquered photos and albums are characterized by exceptional color depth and durability, which is crucial for preserving memories for years to come. The ability to varnish materials of different weights makes it possible to refine both standard prints and exclusive prints on art papers.
Applications of varnishing in various products
Lacquering will find application in a wide range of printed products: book covers gain an elegant look and protection from damage, business cards stand out in the market thanks to a premium finish, postcards and invitations take on a luxurious feel, brochures and catalogs look professional, and calendars keep their colors fresh for a full year of use.
Lacquering is an investment in the future of printing - it combines an eco-friendly approach with economic benefits, while offering the highest quality finishing available on the market.
