Technical Capability
- Printing process
- Litho and screen. Please be aware that heavy ink coverage will compromise the Soft effect
- Screen ruling
- 133 - 150lpi. However, finer rulings may be used with careful ink control, including the use of under colour removal. Stochastic screenings may also be used.
- Printing inks
- Litho and screen - UV only on Soft finish side. Untreated underside - UV and also fully oxidising inks may be used providing an anti set off spray of at least 35 microns is used. Ensure sheets are kept in small stacks and under-colour removal for images with large dark areas is used. UV silk screen and conventional silk screen printing in conjunction with drying ovens
- Embossing
- Yes, blind embossing. The corners of the die should be rounded off to avoid creases
- Varnishing
- Yes, spot UV varnishing, however the wonderful soft-effect would be covered up. Silk screen UV varnishing is the only method to achieve good gloss results. Ensure the sheet is sealed with an acrylic or glycol sealer beforehand. Lay a matt UV varnish just to seal the surface and then use gloss UV varnishes to get the desired effect. Repeat varnishings may be required to achieve high gloss results
- Sealing
- No, however there may be benefits in sealing the untreated side to help prevent marking. We recommend pre-testing to ascertain the level of quality
- Hot foil blocking
- Yes, however due to the unique surface the foiled image may appear to have a matt finish. Ensure the use of a compatible film
- Film laminating
- No, however the untreated side laminates easily. Please note that some 'silvering' may occur. Increase laminating pressure and apply excess adhesive to help reduce silvering.
- Creasing
- To guarantee good folding results, prior creasing is recommended using a creasing rule and matrix system for the 300g product. Always fold into the bead. The 120g product can be folded easily on a buckle plate knife folding machine
- Labelling
- Handling of Envelopes - Due to the special nature of the Curious Touch Soft envelopes, we recommend manual labelling and hand enclosing
Accreditation
- Produced at a mill that is certified with the ISO14001 environmental management standard
- FSC Mixed Sources product from well managed forests and other controlled sources
