Technical Capability

Printing process: Litho and screen. It is normal for some of the metallic finish and inclusion particles in the Sapcedust to transfer to the litho blanket which may require more frequent blanket washes
Screen ruling: 130 - 150lpi. Under colour removal if possible. Stochastic screens may also be used
Printing inks: Fully oxidising or UV
Embossing: Shallow embossing (200g/m² upwards)
Varnishing: Machine or UV spot silk varnishing are both possible. For high gloss results it will be necessary to matt UV varnish before gloss UV varnishing. Good results have been obtained by spot varnishing on solids or dense tones by either method. Any varnish applied directly to unprinted areas of the sheet may cause variations in gloss levels. Use of emulsion sealers is not recommended
Hot foil blocking: For intricate foiling, trials are recommended
Creasing: Translucent does not delaminate so the usual calculations based on thickness may be inappropriate. We recommend experimentation to find the best combination of channel width and depth and creasing rule. For best results fold parallel to the grain and away from the bead contrary to conventional papers. Do not fold in low humidty conditions or after the paper has dried in earlier processes. Pre-creasing is required for weights of 200g/m², use a rounded creasing toll and matrix. For the 200g, we recommend two parallel creases with a gutter to form the spine of the crease. Avoid excessive pressure during folding and subsequent processes to reduce the risk of cracking. Avoid sharp scoring tools. A white crease can appear on folding or embossing
Cutting & trimming: Translucent is extremely dense, do not use a newly sharpened blade. A slightly dull but polished 23° bevel angle is ideal. Cut in small stacks (5cm max)
Binding & gluing: Aqueous based adhesives are not reocmmended - hot melt is preferred
Laser guaranteed: Not guaranteed, however acceptable results have been obtained on some machines. Trials are recommended. 100g/m² is the most suitable for laser printing.
