3D varnish and I-foil

  • UV 3D digital spot varnish (several varnish layers of varying thicknesses) and I-foil.
  • The same digital device can produce regular and markedly raised UV spot varnish, among others, for digitally printed materials. Digitally printed materials need surface-active lamination.
  • Maximum sheet size 520 × 1050 mm; minimum 210 × 300 mm.
  • Weight in grams: min. 135 g/m² (I-foil 150) – max. 600 g/m².
  • Spot varnish can be used to highlight a single detail of the print (in the case of 3D, to cover several specific details with varnish layers of varying thickness) or to varnish just a part of the image. The varnish is applied to the printed paper or laminate using digital technology.
  • The paper that is going to be varnished should be coated, preferably matte laminated. Our Sense laminate gives a perfect result.
  • The advantage is a more pronounced sheen, although it must be taken into consideration that a thick layer of varnish is prone to cracking, which is why spot varnish is not suitable for the backs of magazines/books, edges.
  • 3D varnish can be raised up to 200 microns; however, the optimum thickness is 70 microns. It is possible to use up to 10 layers of varying thickness; however, the optimal number is 1–3. In order to be perceivable, the difference between the varnish layers must be at least 30 microns.
  • Regular, embossed or 3D varnish produced on the same basis can be coated with gold or silver foil. The minimum thickness of the varnish layer for I-foil is 30 microns.
  • Files can be easily created in the programs offered by Adobe; an instruction manual can be sent in English, if necessary.
