Recommendations for printing and handling
Finishing and converting: foil blocking, embossing, spot varnishing, perforating, drilling, die-cutting and pre-ceasing (recommended for and above 150 g/m²).
Unwrap the paper only at the last moment before printing and re-wrap it immediately after the print run.
- Inking: Conforming to the intensity of the proof; suitable with any good quality ink; for pre-print, use inks that are laser compatible.
- Switching: 30 minutes to 2 hours after printing.
• Finishing:
Varnishing: print, dispersion, UV, spot, relief, iriodin, scented and acqueous
Lamination: foil lamination > 130 g/m²
Embossing, gold stamping, die-cutting, perforating, drilling
• Shaping:
Folding: parallel to the paper grain ( // to the large side)
• Scoring:
- Pre-creasing before folding is recommended from 135 g/m², scoring with counterpart
- From 200g/m2: wider scoring in the back of the pleat
Cutting: wait 24 hours after printing; make sure that the blade of the guillotine is sharp enough in order to avoid dust deposits
• Storage:
Protect the paper against any risk of moisture during the storage period
