Spot UV on paper
Posted: Mon Feb 20, 2012 9:35 pm
I run an offset printing company and I would like to do some testing with Spot UV on printed offset work.
I have on offline UV roller coater so I thought I could make use of the conveyor and lamps for the UV.
Unfortunately I know nothing about screen printing and even ran a local ad for someone with experience to show me the ropes but no luck. I am looking for insights into the following:
- type of UV clear ink to get (vicscosity of ink to use?)
- type of screen mesh count to work with
- anything else to be of help
I was out one day and bought a screen from a local store and tried with my own coating (for use in roller coater) but had no luck.
Thanks.
