When you think of varnishing, the common image that comes to mind is the application of a glossy coat over an old wardrobe or a table. However, apart from being used for furniture maintenance, varnish has also made strides into the digital publishing and printing world. Varnish is basically a thin liquid coating that must be applied just before an image is sent for printing or after it has been printed. The reason why varnishing is so important is because it helps protect the quality of the image and also ensures a fluid color reproduction on the surface. A varnish printer is necessary when printing such images. Here are a few important factors that you need to take into account when purchasing such a printer.
Size
Depending upon the size of the images that you print on a regular basis, the size of the varnish printer will also vary. If you are looking to make large format prints, you will obviously need to purchase a bigger printer. When you visit any company that specializes in selling large format printers and UV printing machines, you should ask them to give you a list of all of the different printers that they have available. This will make it easy for you to select a suitable model for your requirements.
Printing Quality
You will also need to check the printing quality of the printer before you buy one. These printers are quite expensive, so it’s important that you ask the company to show you some images that have been printed by that particular model of the varnish printer, before you buy it. When you purchase a new printer, you will also get a warranty and free servicing for a year or two, thus, providing you with the peace of mind that you need before buying it.
