Matt/Gloss systems offer an efficient process for the effective inline finishing if only one coating unit is available.

The principle: In the last ink duct an oil based primer is employed partially. From the coating unit a high gloss coating is applied over the entire surface. Where primer and high gloss coating meet, matt or reticulated (according to formulation) effects are the result. At areas where the primer was left out you receive a high gloss surface. Very fine structures and even vignettes can be achieved with a very high register precision. TerraEffekt offers matt/gloss systems both with waterbased coatings and with UV coatings, in each case combined with selected oil based primers.

Printing process: sheet-fed offset (coating unit after printing), sheet-fed offset (coating unit before printing), gravure, flexo
