Additional features:
Ideal for both 1- and 2-color printing, the Quickmaster's large ink rollers produce excellent solids. The design of the press facilitates set-up and increases speed. Even though it utilizes a common blanket, proper trapping on multiple-color jobs prevents ink contamination.

Varnish
In the past, varnish has been used to add a layer of protection to a printed piece when applied as a flood coat, or to create special effects when applied as spot varnish. Today when the desired result is a layer of protection, it is more economical to use an aqueous coating.

When the desired effect is to highlight a specific area of the sheet, we use a spot varnish with either a gloss or dull finish. We recommend a dry trap varnish, which means the varnish is applied in a separate pass through the press after the ink has dried. A dry trap creates more contrast between the ink and the varnish and heightens the three-dimensional effect.
