• Recommendations
  Use highly compressible blanket with a heavy pressure; UV or conventional oxidizing inks (Hi Solids); fountain solution of isopropyl alcohol or alcohol substitute of approximately 5%; DPI 130-150.

We do not suggest using offset powder on anything that is going to UV coat, so it is important to break the finished stack down to smaller stacks. Stack size depends on the amount of ink coverage (more ink coverage, smaller stack size.) If powder is used, make sure it is cleaned off before coating. Dry at a temperature of 90° with a humidity level around 35% for 48 to 72 hours before coating.
