Komfi: Spotmatic 36

The KOMFI Spotmatic 36 is a fully automated digital spot UV coating machine engineered to deliver high-quality embellishment for premium print applications, including layflat photo books. Utilising advanced inkjet technology, the system applies precise, selective coatings to enhance visual contrast, texture, and durability—key features for professional photo book production.

Designed for flexibility, the Spotmatic 36 handles both short-run digital jobs and high-volume offset production, making it an ideal solution for printers producing customised photo books and on-demand layflat products. Its intelligent camera registration system ensures exact alignment of spot UV layers with printed content, even correcting positioning in real time for flawless results.

The system’s ability to create both 2D and 3D embellishment effects adds significant value to photo book applications, enabling printers to highlight key images, covers, and design elements with raised or high-gloss finishes. This is particularly effective in layflat photo books, where uninterrupted panoramic spreads benefit from enhanced depth and visual impact.

With features such as multi-pass printing, a moveable UV lamp for layered effects, and optional foiling integration, the Spotmatic 36 expands creative possibilities beyond standard spot UV. These capabilities allow print providers to offer premium embellishment finishes that differentiate their photo book products in competitive markets.

Engineered for precision, efficiency, and ease of use, the KOMFI Spotmatic 36 is a powerful solution for printers looking to elevate their layflat photo book production with advanced spot UV embellishment and high-impact finishing effects.
