Professional UV & Water-Based Finishing Systems for Digital Print Shops & HP Indigo Users

Professional UV & Water-Based Finishing Systems for Digital Print Shops & HP Indigo Users


Why Digital Printing Needs Professional Coating?

Modern digital printing—whether toner-based (Xerox, Ricoh, Konica Minolta, Canon) or liquid electro-ink (HP Indigo)—faces three universal challenges:

▪ Easy Scratching & Poor Durability

Toner and electronic inks sit on the paper surface → friction causes scuffing.

▪ Weak Adhesion on Coated Stocks

On glossy, cast-coated, art papers, ink adhesion is weak → coating or primer is required.

▪ High Production Cost of Lamination Films

Film lamination is fast but expensive for small jobs, and creates plastic waste.

That's why thousands of global print shops are shifting to UV coating + Primer coating + Water-based coating as a flexible, lower-cost finishing method.
