Remember
• Always speak to your board and ink suppliers if your job is to be post processed as in coating and laminating.
• Always use paper and inks that are compatible with coatings and laminations. Speak to your supplier before you print. It can save a lot of time and heartache.
• Always use inks, primers and varnishes that are resistant to coatings and lamination adhesives.
• To maintain colour stability please avoid alkali sensitive pigments such as reflex blue, rhodamine red and others, particularly when used in tints or mixes.
• Inks must be dry before we coat and laminate.
• Please keep spray powder to a minimum.
• We do not proceed with the job until an official order is received.
• For laminations please send a marked sheet with job/order, showing grip and lay. Minimum grip 10mm, plus 5mm on either side.
• For all SpotKote work a 20mm grip is required. Film Spec Sheet
• Keep folds or scores away from the thicker specialty coatings such as Spot, Bubble, Ultra and GlitterKotes.
