What if every effect happened in one pass?
Colour. Texture. Raised detail. Tactile finishes. Today most printers do these in separate jobs, with separate setups, separate handling and separate margins for error. There is now a technology that does all of it in a single automated pass. Here is what that changes.
Book a DemonstrationMulti-pass and multi-job kills throughput
Every additional pass or separate job is another setup, another registration, another wait. The clock runs while the machine sits idle between stages.
Re-registration is where quality fails
Each time a piece is handled, re-jigged or run again, alignment drifts. Rejects, reprints and scrapped substrate are the hidden tax on complex work.
Specialist effects mean specialist outlay
Metallic inks, tooling, outsourced finishing. Premium effects usually carry premium cost and complexity, so you either absorb it or decline the work.
Some jobs you simply turn away
Tactile, raised, Braille, gold-effect, full-colour combined work. If the equipment cannot do it in-house, the enquiry goes to someone whose can.
One technology resolves all four. In a single pass.
Full colour, embossed texture up to 3mm, gold-effect finishes without metallic ink, and ADA-compliant Braille — built together, automatically, in one unattended print cycle. No re-registration. No separate jobs. No outsourced finishing. No specialist inks.
Three innovations. One engine. Zero added complexity for you.
The FREEBIRD engine handles the difficult part internally. The operator supplies a standard artwork file. The printer does the rest.
Synchronised precision
Ultra-precise control places gold effects, compliant Braille dots and 3D structural elements with ±1µm positional accuracy, every time, in the same cycle.
Light-varnish finishing
Luxurious metallic and gold finishes are created through a light, ink and varnish synergy using only CMYK, white and varnish. No metallic ink to buy or manage.
Layered 3D texturing
Tactile depth up to 3mm: sharp embossed edges, raised logos and ADA-compliant Braille, all constructed within the same print pass.
No other printer does all of this in one pass.
Capability matters most when it changes what you can quote for and how fast you can deliver it.

Comparison reflects typical platform capability. Specific competitor configurations vary; claims confirmed with artisJet Europe before publication.
Your customer supplies one file. That is the whole change.
A common assumption is that more capability means more complexity for the operator and the customer. With BEC1GO the opposite is true.
There is no requirement to prepare separate files for white, varnish or emboss channels. The RIP manages channel separation and layer sequencing internally. The customer supplies a standard artwork file exactly as they would for an ordinary colour print, and the printer produces the complete result.
- One artwork file — TIFF or PDF preferred, no separate channel files needed
- Standard CMYK preparation, the same discipline as any quality print job
- White, varnish, emboss and Braille configured by the operator in the RIP
- One unattended pass — no jig changes or re-registration mid-job
- Vector-origin logos and text exported to PDF for the sharpest tactile edges
The difference is obvious the moment you watch it.
Describing single-pass printing only gets you so far. Bring a product, watch BEC1GO build colour, texture and tactile detail in one pass, and judge it for yourself.
