01 · Main properties

Offset cold-foil. For sheetfed lines that want the inline finish.

  • Resin-based release engineered for the sheetfed environment — clean transfer under offset blanket pressure.
  • Retains fine line, halftone and reverse type at smaller dimensions than flexo cold foil.
  • Compatible with leading cold-foil systems: KBA ColdFoil, Heidelberg Foilstar, manroland Inline-Foiler.
  • Wide overprint window — UV offset, conventional offset, UV-flexo and aqueous coatings downstream.
