In individual cases, underspecial conditions, as in printing with very high inkdensities, the classification of certain properties may bedifferent.SubstratesStorage and shelf lifeIdeally suited for gloss coated papers and board, suited for matt coated paper and board.The substrate selection has an important influence on the achievable metallic effect. Depending onthe absorption and the surface conditions, the metallic effect can be reduced more or less. Optimalresults are normally achieved on coated substrates, however, care must be taken that the coatedstock is of good quality.Some substrates may look attractive, but cause strong penetration of mineral oil and bindingagents. The result may be a large amount of unwetted metal pigments on the print surface, whichmay cause drying and abrasion problems.To achieve best possible results on a less than ideal substrate, an adequate primer can be preprintedin a sufficient film thickness. This should be checked before commercial production starts.Metallic pastes should be stored at temperatures of around 25°C, as high temperatures may causeoxidation which could lead to a decrease in brilliance. The tins should be kept closed wheneverpossible, as unnecessary opening results in oxidation.Used ink from the duct must not be refilled into the tin. Mixed fountain solution can react with thealuminium particles of the metallic ink and create gas.Meeting the recommended storage conditions, Novaflash ® 6 S 103 PASTE will remain stable for aminimum of 12 months from the date of manufacture. Mixtures are not stable and mixing shouldtherefore take place directly before the printing process starts.You are welcome to contact us for further information.The aim of our technical documents is to inform our customers about general values.However, the transferability of general values known from experience and laboratoryresults to concrete practical applications depends on a number of factors which arebeyond our control.
