OKI Data, a GOA Platinum Sponsor, will debut both new and enhanced digital printing and finishing systems. Also being demonstrated are select devices from its innovative LED digital color production printing portfolio for use within the graphic arts market.

MGI's JETvarnish 3D is more powerful with a new field upgradeable option, allowing for doubling ("T2") production speeds and the ability to digitally coat up to 300 microns in one pass on formats up to 52x105cm (20x40''). In addition to the increased speed, the new barcode reaction camera system allow users to digitally emboss or spot varnish variable data by reading printed barcodes and recalling the correct images in the workstation to varnish with ease.
The JETvarnish 3D "T2" can be connected to MGI's iFOIL module to create 100 percent digital hot foiling in-line. The iFOIL does not require use of dies, plates or makeready, allowing the innovative duo to create a tactile elegance never seen before in on demand environment.
