Coating Thicknesses |
Depending on your file, the inks used and the type of
surface of your sheet, the coating thickness can vary. On
laminated and aqueous coating: 15 μm – 100 μm for 3D
raised effects and tactile finish. On toner and coated paper:
30 μm – 100 μm for 3D raised effects and a tactile finish |
Production speed |
In 2D/flat mode - up to 2,298 A3 sheets per hour (with 15 µm)
In 3D/raised mode - up to 1,624 A3 sheets per hour (with 30 µm) |
