ADHESION RESULTS
Ink varnish and aqueous coatings must be free of waxes, EVA, silicones and Teflon. Also, special attention should be given to press chemistry as alcohol substitutes and one step fountain solutions contain glycol, an oil based product. Lamination will not adhere to oil. Please consult your supplier to be sure of product compatibility.
The use of fuser oils in the transfer of toners in digital printing inhibits adhesion with Thermal Film Laminating. Special laminating films are available that have been designed for the Digital Print market. Some Digital prints with heavy toner coverage may not be able to be laminated, even with the most aggressive adhesives. When asking for a quote for digital printing, please be sure to specify which digital press the job was printed on so the proper film will be used. Some digital printing requires specialized film.
