NEW Onyx 30 UV/AQ Coating System
ENRICH YOUR PRINTS
with the ONYX 30 UV/AQ Spot Coating & Priming System
Kompac has announced the release of the ONYX 30, a high production priming and coating system for the application of UV, Aqueous, Primer/Sapphire, and specialty coatings to a wide variety of substrates. The nearline finishing unit provides commercial printers and in-plant facilities a flexible, cost-effective way to prime, flood, and spot coat sheets up to 22” x 32” (560mm x 800mm) wide at speeds up to 6000 sheets per hour. The first install of the ONYX 30 took place in August with a US-based prepress & print shop with multiple HP Indigo Digital Presses in operation.

Compatible with most large offset and digital presses, the ONYX 30’s coating capabilities make it easy to not only flood coat to protect the printed surface of the substrate, but enhance the quality of printed output with spot coating embellishments such as textured, scratch-off, Soft Touch, satin, and more.
Kompac’s patented Vac Cleaning System allows users to change between coatings with ease. It greatly reduces changeover time, allowing operators to clean the equipment and switch coatings in less than 2 minutes. As a result, users can go from running UV gloss for flood coating, and switch over to the optional chambered anilox system to run aqueous soft-touch coating in just moments.

Designed to fit the needs of a variety of production environments, the ONYX 30 coating system includes an Automatic Stream Feeder, which provides high throughput and accurate registration of every sheet for spot and spot-not coating. It handles a wide variety of stock weights and substrates ranging from 3pt to 30pt (60 to 600g/m2), and lateral pallet movement allows the coating system to accept pallets and dollies directly from the digital or offset press. Also included is the Komapc Stacker, which automatically descends and jobs, creating the perfect stack every time – allowing for quicker turnaround for bindery and further finishing.
Available Options & Specifications
The ONYX 30’s modular design allows it to be configured with optional equipment to increase production and overall capabilities. These include:
Chambered Anilox Coating System - Makes it easy to apply Soft Touch and UV Matte coating
Die-Cutting, Perfing, or Creasing – This magnetic die system increases versatility for pre and post-press finishing processes and increases short run capabilities when not spot coating
IR Dryer (or Duplex IR Dryers) - Quickly dries aqueous coatings and primers with short wave, high-intensity bulbs and instant on/off capability. Hot air knives aide in the removal of moisture and decrease drying times.

Kompac is pleased to announce they have recently partnered with Xeikon, and installed an EZ Koat 20 Plus at their new Itasca, IL., demonstration facility to show UV/aqueous coating capabilities when paired with Xeikon technology. Following the placement was the North American edition of Xeikon Café, where the team was invited to speak with both Xeikon owners and those considering acquiring a Xeikon press, about how the two technologies can be paired to create more efficient workflows and provide opportunities they may not have previously known about.
“Taking part in the North American edition of the Xeikon Café allowed Kompac to work directly with printers, converters and suppliers who own Xeikon technology, and show them how our coating systems can work directly for them to. These solutions can be for both cut-sheet and web applications, and provides a host of opportunities for Xeikon users looking to increase their offering with UV/aqueous spot and flood coating,” said Chris DuFour, Director of Sales and Marketing. “Since the event, we’ve seen a great deal of interest from people who attended, with installs to take place before the new year.
“We value the partnership with Kompac in meeting the needs of our mutual customers. Our label, packaging, and direct mail customers are looking for high quality UV and Aqueous systems, just like those offered by Kompac. We appreciated their presence at the inaugural Xeikon Café serving the North American market and look forward to their participation in future events and at our new Innovation Center.” said Donna Covannon, Director of Marketing NA at Xeikon.
