During the Laminating phase, the static generated in the laminator, and the high gloss finish of the sheet, cause the sheets to stick together. When pulled apart ink can be removed in patches all over the sheet. This is more likely to happen in areas where solids, or multicolour overprints are made. Our Press Polish Varnish is developed to overcome this problem when stacked after removal from the laminator.
