Trendsetting; Futuristic. Tremendously stylish, hip and innovative with built-in attitude, Concept/Effects allows you to ignore convention in two groundbreaking ways.
The sexy Iridescent range is a simple line-up of papers, but with serious side effects: what at first appears to be a white sheet assumes a completly different look when hit by light. There's a hint of sparkle, and a blush of colour - though not enough to detract from what's on the page
Desk-top Guarantee:
All items in the Concept/Effects Iridescent range, up to and inc 160g are guaranteed for pre-printing and subsequent use on colour or mono desktop laser or inkjet machines, subject to manufacturers' guidence on grammage and use.
Print & Finishing:
The unique surface treatment of the Iridescent paper interacts with the printed image and shows through the ink to produce a very special and highly original effect. Great results can be achieved when printing offset litho by following the recommendations below:
- Use fully oxidising, quick drying inks with or without Infra Red drying assistance. Avoid overnight / stay fresh / duct stable inks.
- Always allow sufficient drying time. Use Anti set-off spray when printing multiple colours. Hydroactive drying agent can be added to the ink or water to improve the ink drying.
- For improved ink drying time when printing heavy 4 colour images it may be beneficial to use under colour removal.
- Use laser stable inks for subsequent laser printing.
- It is normal for some of the special paper surface coating to transfer to the blanket. On normal run lengths, this should not cause the print quality to deteriorate.
The Iridescent characteristics of the sheet will be compromised if using varnishes, seals and laminates.
Very good results can be also be achieved on the Iridescent papers using all other major print processes. A trial is recommended, however, if planning on using thermography.
