Why use a Flat Bed Machine?
There are two main varieties of hot foil machines – Platen and Flatbeds. Both are equally effective but serve different purposes. It all depends on the size and type of job required.
The advantages of using a Flatbed:
1. They have a movable head. Flatbeds allow you to print onto deeper or thicker objects such as made up boxes and box lids, up to approximately 19cm (TC 821 and 851 models) – this is due to the moveable head.
2. They have a larger flatbed area to place your work on. For example, if you are printing onto an A3 cover for a folder, this can sit on the printing bed nicely. The area can be extended to take larger print items.
3. They have generous hand pressure for printing on larger areas. For example, the 338 gives you a maximum of 1000kg of pressure, while the 851 delivers a maximum of 2500kg of pressure.
4. The larger machines use toggle action. All of the larger variety of Kobos, from the 338 models upwards, have a toggle action mechanism. This allows you to accurately control your pressure setting in order to achieve excellent foiling results.
5. They have a larger foil print area.* For example, the 338 print area is a massive 125mm x 220mm. This area increases upwards to the largest machine in the range, the 851, which has a 200mm x 300mm print area. (*A larger object can be placed on the print table but this is the max print size).
