Kompac to Present Digital UV/Aqueous Coating System at Dscoop

Kompac will be demonstrating the EZ Koat 20 Plus in Booth #100 at Dscoop in Phoenix, Arizona. Taking place March 1-4, 2017 at the Phoenix Convention Center, Kompac will be presenting the benefits, strengths, and quality of the high powered Digital UV coating system.

Capable of fitting sheets up to 20.5” (52.1cm) wide, the EZ Koat 20 Plus coating and curing system provides a quick and easy way to apply UV, aqueous, primer & specialty coatings to a wide variety of substrates. This coater has a small footprint and can be used offline with a vast majority of digital and offset printers, including the HP Indigo. Materials coated using the EZ Koat 20 Plus provide abrasion resistance and added durability for products with repeat handling and shipping, protection from the outdoor elements, and shields against chemicals, cleaners, foods and water.

“Dscoop is a one of a kind event that provides a platform to interact with peers directly related to HP in various industries. Year after year the community grows larger and allows for greater exposure to new technology and ideas, and we are pleased to be a part of that” said Tom Hayes, CEO of Kompac.

KOMPAC AND HEWLITT-PACKARD - The Perfect Match from Start to Finish!

To Start: you will need a well primed (optimized) substrate. Be it paper or synthetics, Kompac has the right equipment and can recommend the correct primer to fit your needs. Primers need to be matched to the material you will be using.

Primers can be some what complicated; however Kompac has over a decade of experience with Aqueous Primers such as: Sapphire, Topaz and DigiPrime.

Kompac has also developed Special UV Gloss, Satin and Matte Primers for substrates that are difficult to print on.

After printing with HP Indigo, the printed piece will need to be coated for protection – this includes:

• Simple scuffing with uncoated paper.
• Rub resistance for labels on cans and bottles.
• Scratching of book covers, boxes, fliers, etc.
• Small scratches and marks when shipping large quantities of printed materials.
• Protection against a wide range of chemicals, including cleaners, food and water.
• Protection is important, but so is the look of the product. To get the look your customer wants, you must be able to run a large variety of coating fluids, both Aqueous and UV! Kompac can do this on ONE or TWO sides in one pass, In-line or Offline, Web-fed or Sheet-fed!

Sometimes protection is not enough. What you need are Kompac’s Special Purpose Coatings:

• Writable/glueable
• Dry erase
• Blister pack
• Soft feel
• Non skid
• White Opaque
• Playing cards
• Food grade

Everything mentioned can be run with one of Kompac’s coaters. If you need more, Kompac has an extensive line of spot coaters. These high accuracy coaters have been used for:

• Scratch Off – Gold and Silver
• Drawing attention to an item or products with a Gloss spot on a Matte flood coated sheet
• A variety of textures and 3-D Effects by using a textured flexo plate
• A spot not coated such as mailers and glue tabs
• Coating very thin substrates
• Spot priming of already printed materials so they can accept Indigo Print

To Finish: Over 50% of our customer’s own Indigo’s. We have worked with HP Team to bundle packages that solve your customer’s requirements. We even designed and built the Kwik Finish 32 Spot/Flood Coater and the EZ Koat 30 Plus Flood Coater for the HP 10,000 at your request.
