Usually, matt pigments settle at the bottom of the coating container. In order to ensure a consistent distribution of the pigments, stir the coating well. We recommend that you repeat this procedure several times during varnishing.2. Check coating application and anilox roller
The higher the coating application amount, the more matt pigments are transferred. Thus, the risk is increasing that pigments are placed on each other. Reduce your coating application. Choose an anilox roller with a cell volume of 9 - 11 cm³/m². Both hexagonal and tri-helical engravings can be recommended.3. Choose the right coating plate
For the full area coating without gaps use a rubber blanket or a coating plate with a rubber blanket surface. By means of a soft surface, matt pigments can be transferred in a better way compared to a surface which is even or too hard. For the spot coating we recommend the use of a photopolymer plate.Still have open questions? Contact us and we will support you with the application.
