Hybrid package

The hybrid technology optimised by KBA in cooperation with a number of ink suppliers opens up new possibilities for more flexible and more favourably priced inline product refinement. Press configurations specially tailored to the hybrid process represent an alternative to traditional double-coating presses and offer enhanced quality, cost-efficiency and ecological compatibility for a reduced investment outlay. The hybrid system combines the properties of mineral-oil-based and UV-reactive inks. The fast drying and the reliable compatibility of the binder systems with UV coatings guarantee excellent high-gloss results. The deliberate combination of different ink and coating systems, furthermore, provides for attractive spot finishing options. Even in superlarge formats, it is possible to produce the finest spot coatings in offset register quality.
