JETvarnish 3D Web-400
100% digital finishing, selective varnish, hot foil stamping & variable data
in a single pass from MGI Digital Technology.
The JETvarnish 3D Web 400 is the latest generation of reel-to-reel digital finishing presses from MGI Digital Technology.
It enables single-pass UV selective varnishing and hot foil stamping, using a 100% digital process, on open or closed substrates, and for offset, flexo, toner or inkjet printing.
Dedicated to the self-adhesive label and flexible cardboard markets, the JETvarnish 3D Web 400 is the best response to brands' need for ever greater reactivity, quality and high added value. It enables converters and printers to reduce their customers' Time to Market, while transforming the impact of their labels and packaging on the shelf, in full compliance with their environmental strategies.
The versatile JETvarnish 3D Web 400 meets the most varied requirements for short, medium and long runs, enhancing basic four-color production with digital varnish and hot foil stamping in fixed or variable data, flat or embossed, facilitating multi-shot and versioning.
High Quality 100% digital
La JETvarnish 3D Web 400 permet la dépose en jet d’encre, de vernis UV, de 7 à 116 microns, pour des rendus aplats ou en relief du plus bel effet, avec un niveau de qualité et de stabilité sans équivalent, sur tout type de substrat, ouvert, fermé et synthétique. Son calage à la volée, piloté par l’intelligence artificielle de son Scanner AIS, offre un repérage parfait, stable tout au long du tirage, quels que soient les biais, étirements ou contractions de la bande imprimée. La dépose de la dorure à chaud s’opère sur un vernis d’accroche imprimé en jet d’encre, selon les mêmes modalités que le vernis UV, garantissant là aussi, un niveau de qualité de haut niveau.
Productivity, responsiveness and speed of implementation
Equipped with one or two MGI inkjet engines, the JETvarnish 3D Web 400 applies UV varnish and hot foil stamping in a single pass, at up to 50m / minute. Its on-the-fly makeready system makes it easy to run back-to-back prints one after the other. Its automatic cleaning system takes just 10 minutes a day, so you can concentrate on production.
Scalable 100% solution
Totalement évolutive, la JETvarnish 3D Web 400 est constituée de modules permettant à l’imprimeur ou au transformateur, de la faire évoluer simplement, au gré du développement de son activité d’ennoblissement.
La JETvarnish 3D Web 400 est ainsi disponible en de multiples configurations – avec un ou deux moteurs jet d’encre et avec ou sans groupe dorure à chaud – pour s’adapter à tous les besoins et tous les budgets.
Ease of use, predictive maintenance, cost calculation and BàT in augmented reality
Controlled by a simple, intuitive interface that can be replicated on a digital tablet, the JETvarnish 3D Web 400 enables any operator to perform complex finishing operations that are impossible to achieve with conventional technologies. Its MGI Connect software suite integrates cost calculation, MGI Dashboard predictive maintenance, and MGI Approve augmented reality remote BàT for prime contractors. Hosted in a secure Cloud, MGI Connect can be deployed immediately, both within the print shop and with its customers.
No screens, no plates
100% digital, the JETvarnish 3D Web 400 applies UV selective varnish and hot foil stamping without the need for single-use plates, screens, plates and consumables, thanks to its inkjet technology.
Low-migration, desencrability and respect for the environment
The digital 100% process of the JETvarnish 3D Web 400 eliminates conventional intermediate consumables (plates, plates and screens) and solvents, which are particularly polluting and generate subcontracting, transport and packaging waste.
Its small footprint and low power consumption immediately reduce CO2 emissions. Its automatic on-the-fly setting eliminates waste, optimizing raw material consumption. Available in a low-migration(*) version, according to the SQTS standard for indirect food contact, and de-inkable on certain substrates according to Ingede 11, the only reference standard on the market, the JETvarnish 3D Web 400's UV varnish AND MGI hot foil stamping combine finishing with respect for the environment.
General characteristics
Printing speed
- Up to 42m/mn(1) (depending on the application)
Supported widths
- From 200mm up to 420mm (optional)
Tracking
- The JETvarnish 3D Web 400 is equipped with the revolutionary AIS SmartScanner, an Artificial Intelligence-controlled, on-the-fly registration system, which scans each application and corrects varnish and gilding application according to any deformations in the substrate. With this automated on-the-fly registration process, the operator is freed from time-consuming set-up work.
Optional inkjet motor
- Inkjet print engine using MGI's inkjet technology for the application of UV selective varnish, which does not adhere to hot foil stamping. This optional module enables varnish + foil stamping in a single pass.

UV selective varnish and embossing module
General
- This station uses MGI inkjet technology for the production of UV selective varnish. A simple grayscale TIF file, designed by the prepress department, determines both the area to be coated and the different thicknesses of coating to be applied to each label. This 100% digital process eliminates screen printing screens.
Varnish and drying
- Varnish thicknesses: from 7(2) up to 116(2) μm (for flat (2D) or 3D effects) for the main or optional engine.
- In-line drying: The module is equipped with a UV dryer and chill roll for optimal substrate temperature control. The drying cycle includes a roll advance and rewind function to perfectly dry each label and produce a perfect quality while running jobs without waste.
- High gloss varnish 99 GU.
Digital hot stamping module
General
- The hot foil stamping module brings a very high added value to all your labels. A simple TIF file, designed by the prepress department, determines the surface that will receive the foil for each label. This 100% digital process eliminates clichés. This module can be disabled at any time.
