- Sirio Pearl can be printed via offset (single or 4-colour process), thermographic and screen printing processes.
- Sirio Pearl is laser guaranteed in 125gsm.
- Sirio Pearl can be blind embossed and hot-foil stamped.
- The surface of Sirio Pearl is non-porous. Fully oxidising or UV-dried inks are recommended.
- Total ink density can not be more than 280%.
- Drying times depend on the quantity of ink and process variables and may vary. Paper can be handled 24 hours after printing, provided oxidizing inks are used. Complete drying will occur within the following 24-48 hours.
- Excellent results are obtained with Under Colour Removal (UCR) and Grey Component Replacement (GCR) grading to reduce the mass of ink deposited on the paper.
- Once dry, the anchorage of the ink is very good.
- It is important to check printing variables, especially the fountain solution, which must be dosed at minimum levels to ensure emulsion is kept within modest levels. We recommend buffered pH of 5 – 5.5 with 800 – 1200 ųm conductivity. It may be appropriate to add small quantities of additives to the fountain solution ink to accelerate the ink polymerisation process in consultation with Ink Supplier. (remove and / or the ink)
- Anti-setoff spray is advisable with high granulometry.
- Low delivery stacks are advisable. To facilitate the drying of the oxidizing ink, it is suggested to air the paper after 12 hours from printing
A sealing varnish in-line is not recommended as it will increase the total ink coverage. An aqueous varnish on the printing is preferred.
