Digital Coaters

The Most Versatile Coaters for the Digital Market

Capitalizing on our offset coating expertise, Epic Products has developed two premier coaters for the digital printing market. Both units are extremely versatile, easy-to-use and consistently apply UV or aqueous coating.

Epic CT-660™ – Off-Line Coating System

The Epic CT-660 is the most versatile digital coater on the market. This fully automated, easy-to-use coater outperforms the most advanced roller coaters. Using offset coating technology and advanced electronics, the CT-660 can support a broad range of coatings and can precisely spot, flood or security coat at 4,000 sheets per hour. Recently, Hewlett Packard validated the CT-660 as part of their complete folding carton solution (read full article). Epic CT-660 Offline Coater
