WHAT’S NEW PRODUCTS Emboss, Cut, and Strip The Varimatrix 105 CSF die-cutter can be used for hot foil embossing and as a die-cutter with stripping function. Metallic effects and multistage/relief embossing can be applied in a single pass using the hot foil module. It is possible to heat only specific zones, so the complete plate does not have to be heated when working with small formats. A variety of feeds optimizes foil use, and the touchscreen control enables cost-effective embossing and metallic surface finishes for short and very short runs, says company. Able to process a FOIL STAMPING wide range of substrates. Rolls Aid Web Control FOCUS Idler rolls feature hundreds of precision-machined grooves that allow air to escape from between the roll and web to provide better web control. Roll finish is said to improve web tracking and reduce web drift, slippage, and web marking, especially with lighter webs and faster line speeds. uWebex | 920-729-6666 | www.webexinc.com PFFC-ASAP 400 uHeidelberg USA | 888-472-9655 | www.us.heidelberg.com PFFC-ASAP 403 Coming in February: Prepress Film Is Clean, Removes Easily MF15LT premium clean, optically clear protective masking film was developed for electronics and display applications that require cleanliness and easy removability.
