Konica Minolta has unveiled the JETvarnish 3D Web 400 from MGI Digital Technology, a new digital embellishment solution for label converters
Konica Minolta Business Solutions UK has unveiled the JETvarnish 3D Web 400, a new digital embellishment solution for label converters.
The JETvarnish 3D Web 400 is the latest-generation roll-to-roll digital embellishment press from strategic partner, MGI Digital Technology.
The JETvarnish solution is designed to accelerate time‑to‑market and enhance brand impact by enabling premium finishes in a single digital workflow.
The roll-to-roll solution enables single-pass spot UV varnishing and hot foil stamping using a 100% digital process on a wide range of substrates. It is suitable for offset, flexo, toner, or inkjet printing, and can work with both fixed or variable data for either flat or 3D labels.
With a modular concept, the JETvarnish 3D Web 400 is available in six configurations – with one or two print engines, with or without hot foil unit, and with or without an inline semi-rotary die cutting unit – to suit a variety of needs and budgets.
Its integrated MGI Connect software suite also integrates cost calculation, predictive maintenance, and a realistic visualisation of the embellishment effect.
Other key features include an automatic inspection system (AIS) scanner controlled by AI for on-the-fly registration, special varnish in the second printer unit which does not adhere to hot foil, and a print speed of up to 42 m/min on roll widths from 200 mm up to 350 mm width.
Toshi Uemura, head of industrial print business at Konica Minolta Business Solutions Europe, says: “With this groundbreaking technology that enables single-pass spot UV varnishing and hot foil stamping using a 100% digital process, the JETvarnish 3D Web 400 is another example of how we help printers, converters, and brand owners to rethink possibilities and maximise efficiencies.
“The launch is a manifestation of our dedication to pioneering digital transformation, fostering resilience, and contributing to the sustainability of the printing industry.”
Konica Minolta will present an extensive showcase of its technology at The Print Show later this year, operating from a 230sq m stand that is almost treble the size of its 2025 stand.
Konica Minolta will showcase a range of new products at The Print Show 2026 across digital, inkjet, label, and finishing, with details of these to be revealed closer to the event.
