Printing and Finishing Guidelines
We highly recommend ordering samples to check suitability prior to any printing on Curious SKIN.
PRINTERS: Suitable for Offset Lithography, Letterpress, Embossing, Debossing, Silk-screen, diestamping and foil blocking.
INKS: Standard inks work well on Extra White, Ivory and Stone shades. Fully oxidising inks are recommended for the other colours in the SKIN range.
SCREEN RULING: To ensure clarity screen rulings of 175 lpi (lines per inch) are recommended.
BLIND EMBOSSING: Curious SKIN is suitable for blind embossing. Corners should be rounded off to avoid creasing.
HOT FOIL-BLOCKING: Ensuring the use of compatible film, Curious SKIN can be hot foil blocked.
SILK-SCREEN: Suitable for both UV and Conventional silk-screen printing using vinyl inks in conjunction with drying ovens.
DESKTOP LASER: Due to the thickness of Curious SKIN, printing on a laser is not recommended.
DESKTOP INKJET: Ordering samples before placing any main order is recommended. Try 'Normal' 'Best' or 'Photo Matt' options remembering not to exceed the maximum paper thickness of your printer.
SPOT UV VARNISHING: For best results, UV Silk-Screen Varnishing is recommended.
SEALING: Sealers can be used to prevent further processing or handling, but may effect the smooth finish depending on choice of sealer and coat weight used.
LAMINATING: Curious SKIN accepts laminates easily, but of course, the feel of the paper will be lost under the laminated surface.
SPRAYING: As a guide only, it is recommended a spray of 15 microns is used for the 135gsm paper, and 35 microns or above for the 270gsm and 380gsm.
BINDING: Curious SKIN can be saddle stitched, section sewn and perfect bound. Wire and Comb bindings can also be used on Curious SKIN but the cutters must be sharp. Rounded holes perform best. Common adhesives can be used to bond Curious SKIN to itself or other materials.
