'World's smallest' liquid UV coater unveiled

Encore Machinery has launched what it claims is the world's smallest liquid UV coating machine, the VersaCoater DocuMate.

It has a 60x60cm footprint and is aimed at small-format and digitally printed stock.

The entry-level, hand-fed machine features variable coating thickness control for cut sheets up to 400gsm card and can handle 1500sph.

It uses flip up, removable supply canisters, which Encore believes will aid quick set up for its users.
Other features include an enclosed self-cleaning paper path for dry, dust-free prints.

The DocuMate is the smallest coating machine in the VersaCoater range with machines available from 305-2000mm wide.

Models within the range can handle cut sheet materials up to 75mm thick.
