What's "HOT FOIL STAMPING"
After curing the UV varnish printed on the substrate surface by screen printing, LQM EVOLUTION (LQM EVO) handle the process of thermocompressing the foil material to the varnish coating parts in one pass.
Configuration (LQM EVO Hot Foil Processing Line)

Hot foil effect

(Fully automatic screen printing machine MS-102AX +
foil stamping machine LQM-105 EVO + inspection device SI-102IN)
Features of LQM EVOLUTION
- Versatility and low cost without using special foil mold.
- It makes possible to improve productivity while getting high-precision hot stamping effects only at the necessary points.
- High accuracy of registration because the foil can be put on multiple imposition.
- It can be installed as an optional processing function on an existing screen printing line(UV).
- Increasing in a size of foil web core diameter to 3 inches makes large diameter foil roll can be mounted which improve the productivity.
- The LQM EVO has alignment conveyor , thus the sheets are precisely transported to the foiling part.
- Adding new function of remote assistance enabled rapid online support.
