Matt/Gloss systems

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.

The innovative alternative in the area of matt/gloss systems is matt & gloss. With this waterbased coating, which is applied from the coating unit after printing, significant gloss differences can be achieved. On unprinted areas and areas with low ink placement the surface becomes matt. On areas with high ink placement the coating supports the brilliance of the color and achieves glossy surfaces. Brochures printed on gloss coated illustration printing paper for example realize glossy pictures and a pleasant matt surface in the text areas. With just one coating.
