Printing and Converting Processes
  • Offset
  • Letterpress
  • Thermography
  • Silk Screen
  • Foil Blocking
  • UV Varnish
  • Blind Embossing
  • Scoring
  • Die cutting
  • Folding
  • Laminating
Printing/Handling Tips:
  • Paper should be fully acclimated in its original packaging to pressroom conditions of 70° - 75° F with 50% relative humidity.
  • We recommend a 24 hour acclimation period, especially in cold weather.
  • Use fully oxidizing inks adding a maximum of 3% Grafo Drier
  • Add specific water-soluble drier to the fountain solution.
  • Run water at a minimum with a pH of 5-6.
  • Use a spray powder (particle size 20+ microns) when printing both sides. When only printing one side use a particle size of 30+ microns. This prevents set-off and allows oxygen to enter the stack.
  • Please consult with your ink manufacturer if you plan on aqueous coating.
  • Always score before folding. When using multiple folds, the primary fold should be in the grain direction.
