Saphira Drip Off System
Are you looking for something that would give both you and your
customer's product a marketing edge? If you have a five (plus)
Colour Press with a Chamber Doctor Blade Coating Unit, it would pay
to consider the Saphira Gloss/Matt Coating Effect. You can achieve
this in one pass on a conventional, non U.V. press
How does the Saphira® Drip Off system work?
As a standard, the press form is printed using conventional offset inks on the initial inking units. In the last inking unit, a special oil-based, matt and colourless ink is applied to selected matt surfaces of the printing form. A full-area dispersion coating is then applied using a special high-gloss dispersion coating using a dedicated coating unit. This dispersion coating is diffused into fine particles in all areas on the press sheet that have already been coated with the matt ink. Thus, visual glossy areas only appear in the non matt areas and the desired matt/gloss effect is achieved. As an additional benefit, the fine gloss particles provide a rub resistant coating to the matt surfaces.
Saphira® Drip Off Matt Varnish for the last inking unit and Saphira® Drip Off Gloss dispersion Coating for the coating unit can also be used separately as a normal Matt Varnish, and as a normal gloss aqueous coating.
Until the end of June Heidelberg is offering special pricing on these unique products and of course we can provide assistance and advice on how to use the products and create this unique effect.
