Matt Pigment Foil
Description
Matt pigmented foil on 12 micron polyester carrier.
Characteristics
Primarily developed as a high-speed foil, UFD is almost universal in it's application. The low working temperature, combined with the free release, enable dwell times to be reduced to a minimum without affecting the foil's excellent print quality. It is the ideal choice when one foil only is required for both packaging films and labels.
Substrates
An almost endless list of materials can be printed ranging from coated and uncoated papers to a wide range of packaging films.
Printing Temperature
90°C - 130°C (194°F - 266°F)
