Printing Guidelines and Information
> Applications and Uses: Curious Metallics are similar to Conqueror Iridescent, only the range is much, much bigger and the glittering, metallic sheen is more profound. Ideal when distinction is required for Wedding Invitations, Party Invites, Report and Brochure Covers.
> Printing Processes: Curious Metallics are suitable for Offset Lithography, Screen Printing, Desktop Printers, Debossing, and Foilblocking. If unfamiliar with this range samples should be ordered first. More detailed information on each printing process is below.
Curious Metallics do not contain any ground metals - therefore are safe to use in printing machines.
> Offset Lithography: For best results, it is recommended to use oxidising inks.
> Screen Printing: Maximum clarity can be achieved with a screen ruling of 150lpi.
> Blind Embossing: Ideally suited to blind embossing, the corners of the die should be rounded off to avoid creases.
> Silk-Screening: Suitable for UV silk-screen printing and conventional silk-screen printing in conjunction with drying ovens.
> Desktop Laser: Curious Metallics 120gsm is suitable for Laser Printers. Heavier weights will need to be tested - but don't exceed the max thickness of your printer.
> Desktop Inkjet: Most desktop inkjets should be able to print on most weights of Curious Metallics Paper and Card, but again, we recommend ordering samples first to test and not to exceed the printer's max paper thickness.
Extra Advice: Cryogen White, Ice Gold, Ice Silver, White Gold, Virtual Pearl, Lustre and Europa Ivory all perform well on desktop printers.
> Varnishing: Curious Metallics can be varnished, Silkscreen UV varnishing is the only method which will achieve a good gloss finish. Ensure the sheet is sealed off with an acrylic or glycol sealer beforehand. Lay a Matt UV varnish first, just to seal the surface, then use a Gloss UV varnish to get the desired effect. Repeat varnishings may be required to achieve high gloss results. Of course, any varnishing will hide the feel of the paper/card.
> Laminating: You can laminate Curious Metallics - but some of metallic effect may be lost.
> Folding and Creasing: Pre-creasing is recommended before folding Curious Metallics 250gsm and 300gsm.
