Narrow Web
If you are a label printer you will know how important a quality print job is to your customers.
But the problem is that some of the substrates you use are plastic or foil based, and both create problems with ink and lacquer adhesion. This is because the surface energy of the material prevents the creation of a proper bond – in simple terms, it doesn’t stick well.
To create the quality of label that you want to sell to your customers requires good preparation, and an essential part of that is Corona treatment of the surface of the substrate you are using. Vetaphone high-quality Corona systems are accurate and controllable to ensure you are always applying exactly the right level of treatment in a situation where too much is as bad as too little.
Even substrates that have been treated prior to delivery can cause problems if the dyne level (surface adhesion) has decreased because of heat or humidity during transit or storage. This will prevent you from running your narrow web press at full speed and as a result cost money. By Corona treating all stock on-press prior to printing you can be confident of a perfect result every time. The same applies to top-coated stocks, which, because they use expensive chemicals, are costly to buy. Corona treating on-press often removes the need to buy these expensive materials.
