FAQ
Ink & Varnish for Labels and Cartons questions
Which products are most relevant for labels and cartons?
Water-based flexo ink and water-based overprint varnish are often relevant. Gravure ink may also be reviewed for specific processes.
Can gloss be kept stable during production?
The team can help analyze gloss variation by checking varnish choice, coating weight, drying, substrate, and process stability. Final stability should be verified by trial.
Can JLJ Coating help with blocking or sticking?
Yes, the team can assist analysis of blocking or sticking by reviewing drying, stack temperature, coating film, varnish choice, and substrate condition.
Send substrate and process details for review
A clear inquiry should include substrate type, print method, current ink or varnish issue, performance target, and any downstream converting requirement.
