Everything you need to know about sheet-fed digital embellishment.
Get answers to the most common questions about KURZ sheet-fed systems — from substrate compatibility to machine integration.
KURZ digital embellishment solutions for sheet-fed applications offer significant advantages for modern print shops, including reduced setup times, zero tool costs, and the ability to handle variable data printing (VDP). These systems provide industrial-grade efficiency for both short runs and high-volume production, allowing for high-impact flat, haptic and relief effects on a wide range of substrates, including coated, uncoated, and open-structured papers.
The KURZ sheet-fed portfolio includes specialized systems tailored to different production needs:
- DM-MAXLINER: Inkjet based embellishment machines for flat, haptic and relief effects, both for varnish and metallization.
- DM-SMARTLINER: An efficient B3 entry-level solution for high-quality digital metal finishes.
These machines support various sheet formats from SRA3 to Bl +, ensuring compatibility with standard industrial print workflows
Yes. One of the standout features of KURZ digital embellishment technology is its ability to achieve brilliant metallization on challenging substrates. Unlike many systems that require perfectly smooth surfaces, KURZ solutions use patented technology of flat embellishment works on coated, uncoated, textured and open-structure stocks.
Yes, KURZ sheet-fed solutions are designed for seamless integration into existing industrial workflows. They can embellish sheets that have been pre-printed using either traditional offset or various digital printing technologies. This flexibility makes them an ideal “finishing” step for hybrid production environments
Yes. Because the process is entirely digital and tool-free, every sheet can be unique. KURZ systems allow for mass customization and personalized metallic effects, enabling brands to run highly targeted marketing campaigns or include individualized security features on packaging and labels.
KURZ provides a perfectly coordinated complete solution. Unlike competitors who may only provide the hardware, KURZ manufactures both the machinery and the transfer carriers. This vertical integration results in superior reliability, faster production speeds, and higher quality output.
