The fundamental differences are as follows: 1. Flat beds often allow you to print onto deeper or thicker objects such as made up boxes and box lids upto approx 19cm ( TC 821 and 851 models) with the moveable head this gives you a variety of options. 2. Large Flat bed to place your work. If you are printing onto an A3 cover for a folder or similar size of material this can sit on the printing bed. If you wish you could even extend the area to take larger items if necessary, but Kobo’s are ideal for larger flat items that the platen style machines struggle to cope with. 3. Generous Hand Pressure when printing larger full out print area’s the 338 gives you a maximum of 1000Kg pressure upto the 851 delvering 2500kg of pressure 4. Toggle Action. All of the larger variety of Kobo’s from the 338 model upwards have a toggle action mechanism allowing you to accurately control your pressure setting to achieve excellent foiling results. 5. Foil print area the 338 print area is a massive 125mm x 220mm going to the largest machine in the range the 851 200mm x 300mm ( larger object can be placed on the print table , but this is the max print size.
