Printing inks
Conventional drying, UV and IR are preferred. High temperature resistant fully oxidising ink for litho pre-print when subsequent laser printing
Embossing
Yes
Varnishing
Board substances only: Machine or UV screen varnishing are both possible, provided it is carried out on top of emulsion sealing. For high gloss results it is necessary to matt UV varnish on top of emulsion sealer 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.
