| Recommendations | We strongly recommend pre-testing Paper stacks should be fanned out before printing Only oxidative drying or UV-drying inks should be used Use powder spraying sparingly Do not dry with hot air or infrared-heater; flatness problems may occur For design, use screens of 130-150 l.p.i As Getaway is so dense, treat each grammage as if it were a lighter weight The fewerpasses through the press, the better Translucent papers require longer drying times compared to natural products. Translucent papers require a high degree of mechanical treatment of the fibre; thus it is sensitive to temperature and moisture fluctuations Both printed and unprinted translucent paper should be protected from moisture during storage Pre-Print: -Transparent papers are suitable for pre-print applications. Please read the points Climate and Hot Foil Blocking in reference to this. Offset Printing: -transparent papers have practically no absorption qualities. For this reason, printing should be carried out using inks (foil inks) that dry purely by oxidation. Deploy lower damping (pH more than 5.5) and print in small stacks. -in the case of reduced trapping, a trapping stripe as broad as possible also needs to be printed. This reduces the danger of the excessive emulsifying of damping water in the printing ink. -to avoid avoid set-off, powder spraying should be carried out. This must take place in accordance with the ink film and stack height. -in the case of increased ink film thickness when printing solid areas (>100%), and in the case of 2-sided printing, fatty exudations may result leading to imperfect trapping. UV drying is recommended in such cases. This will also avoid set-off. Due to the inevitable build-up of heat during UV drying, the paper should be stored flat. Second generation UV emitters featuring heat filters are especially recommended. Heat-set Drying: -In principle the heat-set drying method (web offset & sheet-fed offset) is suitable. During IR drying, curling and or wrapping may occur due to the build up of heat. -depending on the specific drying equipment, tests are recommended. Inkjet/Laser Printing: -Suitable for printing both laser and inkjet printers. -Due to the wide variety of printers available, we recommend that you refer to the manufacturer's specifications, particularly with regard to permitted paper weights. -We also recommend that tests specific to the application be carried out. Cutting: -To avoid damage to blades due to paper density and hardness, the use of slightly blunted hard alloy blades with a 26 ground angle, as well as a 5cm stack thickness is recommended. Climate: -Transparent papers are particularly sensitive to climatic conditions. For this reason, particular attention should be paid to the relative humidity and temperature in the print room. -To ensure faultless print finishing, we recommend water-vapour-proof, print-stack packaging immediately after printing. Combination with other Paper Types: -The paper has a relative moisture content of 50%. Since transparent paper is particularly sensitive to moisture, it is important to ensure that the moisture content of the papers to be combined also comprises 50%, otherwise the transparent paper will become deformed over a period of time. PROCESSING/CONVERTING Blind Embossing: -In general, Getaway and Trance are both suitable for blind embossing but may develop a milky discolouration. This could prove to be an attractive advantage, depending on the printed results to be achieved. Tests are recommended. Creasing/Folding: -The line of the crease/fold should preferably follow the grain direction. Transparent papers above 150gsm tend to break in the fold, therefore a double-crease at the back is recommended (a crease of fold-line parallel to the grain direction is obligatory). -If the moisture content of the paper is too low, this will have the same effect, so ensure that the paper does not become too dry. -When folding, a faintly milky edge will occur due to the paper compression. Die-Cutting/Drilling/Punching/Laser-Cutting: -Transparent papers are well suited for these techniques. -During laser processing, a fine, hardly noticeable brown edge forms around the edges on the reverse of the paper. Hot Foil Blocking: -Very attractive results can be achieved using this technique with transparent papers -Because these papers are not easily compressible, foil contact must be exact. -We recommend an extremely solid material for back pressure -Extremely dry foils are best suited together with a standard adhesive (finishing should take place in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations). -Foil blocking is not particularly suitable for laser processing. Test stamping is recommended. Overprint Varnishing: -A very attractive finish can be achieved with gloss varnish on matt paper surfaces. Since transparent papers are not absorbent, we recommend varnishing using water-based or UV varnish. To achieve an initial visual impression, proofs using overprint varnish are recommended. Binding/Gluing: -Transparent papers can be used in conjunction with all known binding techniques. In the case of perfect binding, ensure that the grain direction runs parallel to the adhesive binding, particularly when dispersion adhesives containing water are used. These types of adhesives often cause warping in transparent paper. For this reason, we recommend the use of adhesives containing little or no water such as hot-melt or PUR. -For best results, carry out test bindings on dummies |
