Commercially available immediately, MagiCoat Mini is a scaled iteration of the larger MagiCoat that features a compact footprint to meet the needs of those with lower production demands looking to pre-treat glass and other drinkware vessels for optimal adhesion.
MagiCoat Mini can pretreat up to 10 items per minute, boasts a dedicated flaming station and an advanced flaming head, features four independently rotating stations to ensure consistent quality, and utilises a fine mist spraying system for even application.
Inkcups VP of sales James Burns told Printweek that the system “prepares the substrate to effectively take on the UV ink”.
“It’s like a pre-treatment adhesion system getting the substrate prepared, and that can be anywhere from metals, glass, plastics.”
The device hosts four independently rotating stations, one flaming station, a digital temperature control, and one flaming head, working in conjunction with MagiCoat Solution parts A, B, and C to promote adhesion on tapered and straight walled cylindrical vessels made of glass and other materials.
Water-based primer MagiCoat Solution compiles with the stringent regulations of FDA 21 CFR 175.300, CPSIA, and California Prop 65.
Together MagiCoat Mini and MagiCoat Solution can achieve up to 200 residential washes or up to 600 industrial washes.
Meanwhile, with temperature detect, MagiCoat Mini automatically indexes upon reaching the optimal temperature to facilitate a uniform pre-treatment.
While MagiCoat Mini is not on show at Fespa, Inkcups is demonstrating a raft of other kit on its stand and also participating in the Personalisation Experience show feature.
Fespa Global Print Expo runs until Friday (22 March) at the RAI in Amsterdam.
