Unwrap the paper at the last moment before printing and rewrap it immediately after the print run.
For re-cutting:
- keep the paper fibre direction (// of the large size) perpendicular to the printing direction.
- For grammages > 135g/m2, plan a rejection cut.
Pre-printing
Large printed surface: under colour-removal recommended.
Intense full colours:
- for black colour, blue support (40%) recommended or two black sequences.
- for other colours, 1 or several colour support(s).
Screen ruling:
- Optimum 200 lpi,
- Maximum 254 lpi.
- Also suitable for stochastic screening.
Printing
Printing techniques: litho-offset, silk-screen, typography.
All common offset inks are suitable.
High density inks should only be used on Gloss.
Average drying time from 30 minutes to 2 hours after printing.
Finishing
Finishing techniques: foil blocking, embossing, lamination, all varnishing.
Forming
Suitable for perforating, drilling, die cutting.
Folding: parallel to the paper fibre direction (// of the large size).
Scoring : from 150g/m2, scoring with counterpart; from 200g/m2, larger scoring needed on the back of the fold.
Cutting : Ensure that the blade of the guillotine is sharp enough to avoid dust deposits.
Storage Recommendations
Protect the paper against any risk of damp during the storage period.
