Printing Tips:
- MOONDREAM is suitable for offset printing. For best results use fully oxidizing inks.
- It is advisable to use a primer and to minimize the amount of water used during printing.
- Thermography is not recommended for use with MOONDREAM.
Converting Tips:
- In order to obtain the transparent effect, use the hot stamping technique at a temperature of 285-300ºF with a pressure slightly higher than generally used for this type of conversion.
- During this process some fibers may migrate to the image area. Therefore, care should be taken to ensure that the die is kept clean at all times, in particular when fine text or details are involved.
