What customers say

"Affordable, good, reliable"

“Saphira Aqueous Coatings are affordable, glossier than the alternatives, and run beautifully. I can stop and start the press with no issues. It’s a good, reliable, all-around work-and-turn coating ideal for busy shops with an eye on the bottom line.”

Rand Graphics, USA

"Everything runs smoothly"

“There’s a reason Ritter’s has used Saphira prepress and pressroom consumable products for years. Everything runs smoothly and seamlessly in our Speedmaster XL 75 presses, as well as in our Suprasetter Chemfree platesetter."

Ritter’s Communications, USA

"The technical support and training was excellent"

"We have found, since changing over to Saphira, that we are using less coating and the curing time is quicker, especially on the matte and dull coating. The technical support and training on the coatings was also excellent.”

Fort Nassau Graphic, USA
