Embossing Plus, MGI and Konica Minolta Announce First U.S. JETvarnish 3D Evolution Industry Service

Premier Minnesota trade finisher, Embossing Plus, has announced the launch of the first JETvarnish 3D Evolution (Evo) print enhancement services program in the United States. The MGI JETvarnish Evolution is the world’s first commercially available digital print enhancement press for application sizes up to 29×47”/75×120 cm (with substrate weights up to 800 GSM). Konica Minolta, MGI’s Global Partner, sold and deployed the equipment with a total solutions support package and an EngageIT Xmedia business development campaign to help create market awareness of the firm’s new business line.

Embossing Plus was founded in 1987 by Leon Spencer and has since grown to provide national print campaign support programs that include the entire spectrum of post-press services.

Minneapolis and St. Paul, the Twin Cities of Minnesota, have always been a bedrock of Midwestern print industry production. Now, Embossing Plus is heralding a new era of digital print decoration with their JETvarnish 3D Evolution.

Jim Flannery, co-owner and VP, says the firm’s business model is to always start and end with a focus on the client relationship, instead of merely the job. Therefore, the dynamic power of the JETvarnish 3D workstation toolset is a perfect complement to their customer strategy.

Every JETvarnish 3D system from MGI includes a suite of tools and utilities to add value to printer and print buyer relationships. These valuable applications include an “Image Editor” to creatively generate new job prototypes and model profitable alternate design versions. There is also a powerful “Job Cost Calculator” to predict print job ROI data, operational costs, staff scheduling, project run times and accurate customer pricing information.
