Topeka, Kansas (News release) -- Amplify, the Print Finishing & Embellishment Event, a collaborative venture of WhatTheyThink and the Foil & Specialty Effects Association (FSEA), will include an exhibition and educational program spotlighting the entire print finishing and embellishment value chain. The three-day experience will take place June 10-12, 2025, in Rosemont (Chicago), IL, at the Rosemont Convention Center.
Amplify Print has announced the latest program and demonstration on the show floor in the Technology Zone. The program will take place on the Sakurai Maestro MS-80DDS cylinder screen press for spot UV coating with its ScreenFoil LQM-105 hot foil stamper. The fully automated, labor-saving DDS press was designed for easier operation and a scratch-free conveying function, even for difficult materials. New features to improve operability and efficiency include a larger LCD touch screen operating panel, a presetting mechanism for sheet size and plate positioning and a remote access function to simplify operation and maintenance. Sakurai's exclusive CCD optical camera registration system checks register marks for sheet alignment to improve productivity and performance. The ScreenFoil LQM-105 hot foil stamper improves productivity and allows both screen coating and hot foil technology as an optional processing function in one system. High accuracy of registration with the foil on multiple impositions will be on display and discussed. The Sakurai Screen Coater program and demonstration will take place June 10th at 3:30 p.m. on the show floor.
"The live programming and demonstrations in the Technology Zone provide education for the attendees right on the show floor," stated FSEA Executive Director, Jeff Peterson.
