NovaCoat Strike-Through UV Coating System

Nova Pressroom Products is pleased to announce an industry first from Nova! It's the NovaCoat Strike-Through System: Single-Pass High Contrast Dull Varnish + UV Gloss Coating for Sheetfed Presses. The two innovative products that comprise this strike-through system are:

  • Nova SP-595 Dull Varnish
  • NovaCoat UV-705 Gloss UV Coating

This system is a combination of conventional dull varnish + UV gloss topcoat for sheetfed presses. This system is specially formulated to run in-line and to achieve maximum gloss contrast. When dry, both glossy and dull areas have outstanding rub resistance. Gloss contrasts of 70 points have been achieved! Because the dull varnish is applied via standard lithography, the most exacting and intricate designs can be achieved. The conventional dull varnish will not damage UV rollers.

  • Works with UV or Conventional Ink Units – no need to replace rollers!
  • Excellent adhesion without aqueous primer.
  • Outstanding gloss contrast and rub resistance.
  • Low odor.
  • NovaCoat UV-705 can be used as conventional high gloss UV coating.
Contact Chuck Malspeis for more details.
