Heidelberg Adds Neon to Versafire

Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG is now offering an optional neon yellow spot colour for its Versafire CV printing system. The toner glows under UV light and the effect can also be used as a security feature, because the toner is near impossible to copy. Heidelberg explains this makes it especially interesting for printing admission tickets or wristbands, for example, and other applications in the event industry that only light up under UV light.

In total, three additional toners can now be used with the Versafire CV in addition to CYMK: white, varnish, and neon yellow. To apply the toner, operators need an additional developer unit, while leveraging the Prinect Digital Frontend developed by Heidelberg and colour tools from its PDF toolbox.

The new toner application can be retrofitted to all Versafire CV and Linoprint CV systems already in the market.
