Ingenious KBA Genius 52UV

Name a universal material that can be used to make exclusive advertising and souvenir products, information materials (signs, plates, pointers, shelf talkers), gift packaging , discount, gift, club and other types of cards. You are not mistaken! Of course, it's plastic.

Its popularity is easily explained. This durable material has high mechanical resistance, is affordable, and is very convenient for a variety of post-printing processing (including thermoforming).

And now the next question. How to achieve the best result when printing on plastic? Our answer is UV offset printing!

Wolf Printing House offers the capabilities and advantages of the KBA Genius 52 UV machine.

Universal use

The German company KBA first showed this B3 format equipment at Drupa 2004 A year later, the company began producing this machine for short-run printing in a UV-curing configuration.

The creators of the KBA Genius 52 UV intended that the equipment would be used in printing houses operating in the packaging market and as an alternative to screen printing printing, as well as printing on plastic films with their subsequent rolling to a hard surface.

But UV technology has expanded the scope of application of KBA Genius 52 UV (storage, discount, club, gift, luxury, SIM cards, etc. ., business cards, menus, sets, information materials).

Benefits for customers

One of the reasons for the success of the machine is that competitors modified an existing equipment, and KBA created the technology for printing without moisture from scratch.

KBA Genius 52 UV is a very versatile equipment and allows you to print on PVC, polycarbonate, polystyrene, polyethylene, cardboard. Some of them are quite expensive, so quick adjustment is a very important indicator.

The machine gets into color already on the sixth print!

The KBA Genius 52 UV does not have rollers and traditional humidification, so it much faster than traditional offset printing, it goes into circulation. After all, there is no need to set up paint zones, humidification sections and paint supply (as well as monitor the paint/water balance).

In addition, the equipment uses an innovative replaceable chamber-squeegee system, which reduces setup time by 30-40%.

For the customer of the Wolf Printing House, this means prompt execution of the order.

The KBA Genius 52 UV also has a “trick” - the printing sections are located around the central printing cylinder, so that the printed material does not pass through the series of grippers of the sheet transfer conveyor. This ensures the highest degree of reliability, very accurate registration and, what is important for the customer, outstanding print quality!
