For over 30 years D& K Europe has been in the forefront of both narrow and wide format business graphic presentation, with a range of innovative products for mounting, laminating and encapsulating. At Sign & Digital this year we will be presenting equipment from both our narrow and wide format ranges. On Stand A10 will be our B3 Neptune thermal laminator alongside the Atlas C wide format laminator. Also on the stand we will be demonstrating our desk top Foiling machine & Cold Mounting machine and for the encapsulation side there will be the entry level fully automated Encapsulation Line. The Encapsulating line is modular in construction and is based on a desktop laminator/encapsulator with an automatic feeder and trimmer. The unit can be supplied with a bursting option for lamination too.
The Neptune B3 laminator is fitted with a deep pile feeder and will run stock weights of 115g/m2 to 350g/m2 at speeds of up to 15m/minute. It also benefits from an easy to operate touch screen control panel.
D&K has added foils to its consumables range. Initially we are stocking just – Gold, Silver, Blue and Magenta plus a UV Gloss to give a spot varnish effect. Our standard widths will encompass those currently available in the market and introduce a narrow roll to reduce waste when foiling a small area. Whilst available on our range of laminators we will be demonstrating foiling with the low cost DF350 stand-alone foiling unit, ideal for short runs. The DF350 offers a maximum paper processing width of 350mm and will accept foils on both 25mm and 75/76mm cores.
For signage applications we will show a low-cost manual laminator/mounter, the LBS 650, ideal for one off applications to apply self-adhesive vinyls etc and finally, we will be showing the Atlas C wide format laminator. The Atlas is available in a variety of configurations including the “C” cold range, “HA” heat assist, “HT hot top roller and MF which comprises all the features of the HA & HT together with the ability to encapsulate with all gauges of encapsulating film and can process hot and cold materials - simultaneously, if desired.
