OMRON technology into its systems, Bagel Systems achieves high performance in digital and offset printing finishing. The Bagel Systems portfolio includes lamination products for medium-sized productions of 50x70cm and 70x100cm (B1, B2), serving the offset and packaging market, as  up to 35x50cm (B3) that cover the needs of digital-commercial printing and photocopying centers. The company's flagship is the Falcon-B1 machine, a fully automated heavy duty lamination system for offset and digital prints up to"In offset, liquid lamination and film lamination are common, but in digital printing ink compatibility is a decisive factor. Xerox toner is different than Konica Minolta, and an HP Indigo print reacts differently to film than a Fujifilm Jet Press inkjet print.  

In the field of photo albums especially, every print is different » states Mr. Jordi Marti, one of the four founders and Managing Director of Bagel Systems. This fact forced us to carry out hundreds of tests to arrive at the correct temperature and pressure parameters . We have become experts in printing technologies .' Temperature image manipulation service and pressure are the two factors that affect the quality of the final product and can destroy the product when dealing with heat-sensitive materials and pigment layers. If we factor in the waste at the start of a job and the initial times, especially in small production runs, the importance of a proper lamination system becomes apparent. For the above reasons, Bagel Systems concentrates its efforts and resources in the research and development of technologies that ensure uniform distribution of heat, as well as automations that help the operator to enter the parameters easily and quickly.

Once there were specialized finishing and laminating services, today professional printers want to reduce the outsourcing of their production. They often use unskilled personnel for lamination. Despite everything, they demand easy machine setup and quick work changes, low consumption and high quality of the product , continues Mr. Marti. "To achieve all this we replaced the traditional cylinders with special cylinders containing diathermic oil. We designed the cylinders and electrical resistances ourselves and developed and integrated special automatic pressure regulation systems .' The company invests significantly in the education and training of its staff in printing technologies and materials. For more sustainable production, since the beginning of the year it has even started testing 50% biodegradable and 50% recyclable films, adapting its systems accordingly.
