Frequently Asked Questions

What is a drip off effect primer?

It is a special-effect primer applied to selected areas of a printed sheet before a full gloss coating is applied. Where primer is present, the gloss coating is repelled and does not form a gloss film, leaving a matt area.

How is drip-off different from spot UV?

Spot UV applies gloss coating only to selected areas, leaving the rest uncoated. Drip-off applies a primer to selected areas, then a full gloss coating over the whole sheet, which is repelled where primer is present.

Can any design be used for drip-off?

The primer pattern can be a logo, lettering, image, pattern or any design element, but the design must be suitable for primer application and registration.

Does it cure instantly?

Yes, both primer and gloss stages cure under UV lamps, like other UV coatings, provided lamp output and line speed are correctly balanced for each stage.
