STRATOS

The new CONTI-AIR® STRATOS is ideally suited for smooth-flowing application of varnish, above all in the printing of packaging. Selective spot varnishes are increasingly in demand for the high-quality printing of catalogs, brochures and packaging material.  Image segments can be highlighted and areas intended for subsequent pasting can be spared varnishing.

The STRATOS allows for trouble-free stripping of such areas as are to be reserved for follow-up application of adhesives. These open areas can easily be cut into the printing blanket and later removed – both by hand and automatically with plotters.

In printing operations CONTI-AIR® STRATOS yields a uniform varnishing result. This is ensured by means of a polymer layer developed specifically for transferring aqueous dispersion and UV varnishes. It makes possible excellent degrees of gloss and minimal ink buildup.

“The STRATOS was developed for use with UV varnishes. And so one of its chief characteristics is a high resistance to the substances found in these varnishes and to the corresponding cleansing agents,” explains Herrmann.
