    Hot Foil Stamping

    our foilers only want vectors - so only supply vectors some kind of registration - sounds simple but you'd be amazed... give them something to position and register to, and discuss and agree acceptable tolerances up front.

    Proofer of Your Dreams

    packaging on board here - if we could get accurate colour(including spots) on same stock as the B1 job run on our UV inkjet i'd be very happy - as for spot varnishes we have the option to run varnish on the machine too - so no problems there, and cut/crease could do any embossing needed, so for...

    Agfa Azura

    gotcha can't confess to being familiar with those inks at all - i'm guessing agfa say they are fine to use not sure how accurate the visual test you and the tech did - might LOOK the best but was sufficient power reached to fuse the plate correctly i know you've done it, but i'd check on the...

    yeah but rumours were mostly being spread by their competitors....hell i even got a mercenary email from one of em wanting to keep me going after the crushing fall of litho... but litho are fine - they have been bought i believe by a former director and are trading just fine - as far as i'm aware

    China plates

    well stab me vitals - it's Mr aldridge! a blast from the past! in time i'm sure chinese plates will get used in europe - maybe that's really why agfa are after them now - to stave off that inevitability for a while longer

    Processless, Chem-free, low chem plates – who cares?

    good points - for me/us reducing chemistry was a must - it also reduces man hours (££££) cleaning processors, also reduces waste - which as part of a lean manufacturing programme we were very interested in i cant comment on other plates as i've used azura since we moved from ctf to ctp -...

    Trapping Metallic Inks

    it can depend on if you have UV presses or not since we print on card only we have to have some spread/choke to allow for board movement - usually minimum about .15 then let the metallic spread as it naturally does end of the day its a job by job thing - no UV presses here
