Q: What is the Paper Metallizing Process?
A:

Pre-coating

A base varnish is applied to increase gloss level and seal the pores inherent with the paper.

 

Metallizing

A microscopic thin layer of aluminium, approximately 30 nanometers thick, is evaporated on paper.

 

Post-coating & Roll-finishing

Provides a degree of abrasion resistance and a printable surface onto the metallized substrate.

Q: Which Print Methods and Inks do Your Metallized Papers Support?
A:

Our papers can be used with a variety of conventional inks. A member of our team will always be sure to ask which print method you use as our papers are treated differently depending on your print method.

 

Our metallized papers for UV offset printing for example, have a special coating applied which is optimized for this method of printing. We use a different treatment for other print methods which enhances the ink performance for these types of print. The most important aspect to note, however, is that our metallized papers support most contemporary print methods, giving stunning finishes.

 

Our ink advice is also included as a standard feature for our customers and their partners.

Q: What are the advantages and disadvantages of printing on the metallized surface of UV-curable inks?
A:

Printing with UV inks is a more versatile and environmentally friendly method for non-absorbent materials. The advantage of this technology is that it requires no anti-set-off powder and the ink dries almost instantly.

 

However, UV inks are more expensive than foil ones and can be used only for special printing machines that feature extra driers. This makes the process more energy consuming and expensive when using the UV inks.


Q: What is the right way to store metallized materials?
A:

Metallized paper should be stored enclosed in their original packaging to ensure a constant humidity indicator.

 

Before printing, the material should be acclimatized in the production room for at least 2 hours. If the difference between the temperatures of the metal and the room is big, the acclimatization should be prolonged to 24 hours.
