Domino has launched its first digital cold foil system, based around the company’s K600i digital print module. The solution uses the K600i to print a digital adhesive and create the image area prior to UV-curing and delamination.

Unlike some other inkjet systems that print metallic ink to provide a foil-like effect, Domino’s digital cold foil solution is based on conventional metallic foil to provide a higher quality finish and enable the use of security and decorative holographic images within the foil.

Depending on the substrate, the digital cold foil system can operate at speeds up to 246 fpm (75 mpm) and can be supplied as a standalone unit or be retrofitted to an existing foiling station. It is offered in up to seven different foiling widths ranging from 4.25″ (108mm) up to 30.81″ (782mm).

Since the launch of the K600i monochrome inkjet printer in 2010, Domino has installed over 200 modules in a range of different production lines, including label presses for hybrid printing, and finishing and sheet-to-sheet lines. The new K600i cold foiling solution is based on the same technology, albeit printing a new digital adhesive. Digital foiling represents an opportunity for security applications designed to prevent parallel trade and anti-counterfeit activity.
