Print Techniques
Suitable for widely used print techniques, including offset lithography, letterpress, embossing, debossing, silkscreening, die-stamping and foil-blocking. A pre-test is recommended for thermography.

Preparation
Avoid extreme humidity or temperature condition and keep the paper as long as possible in the wrapper before use.

Inks
We recommend using fully oxidising inks. Please consult your ink manufacturer for specific colours or formulations. Curious Metallics do not contain ground metals and are not foil papers

Screen Ruling
We recommend screen rulings of 130-163 lpi to obtain the best result

Laminating
The paper accepts laminates easily, although some ‘silvering’ may occur. Increase laminating pressure and apply excess adhesive to help reduce silvering. Laminates will reduce or negate the metallic effect

Spraying
We recommend using spray powder with a particle size of 35 microns or above when printing board weights.

Digital Printing
Curious Metallics is suitable for Dry Toner and HP Indigo printing
