| The Principle |
An adhesive sizing-, ink is printed
by an offset machine, which is connected to
a fine pigment refinement unit (P-M-E 4/4), to rub
the metal effect pigments -
e.g. bronze-, pearlescent or holographic pigments
- into the adhesive sizing-, ink.
This printing process is known as bronzing, that
achieves a level of brilliance, unattainable
by current metallic inks, pastes or effect coatings.
Bronzing is primarily employed in packaging for
the cosmetics, confectionary and tobacco industries.
Other traditional areas
of application include the production of labels
and greeting cards.
Comparing the costs between pigment application
and hot-foil stamping and/or effect coating processes,
our procedure offers significantly lower prices.
The regaining of pigments which are not fixed during
application (can be reused up to 4 times), compared
to the huge waste of foil during production, is
the major advantage of our procedure. Low energy
consumption and price/kg for the consumables on
our application method, do follow right behind.
