OIL-BASED VARNISH
This varnish was developed to reach matt / gloss effects in correspondence with waterbased varnish Pearlgloss DH10-40.
It is processed like a conventional oil based varnish in the printing unit.
The oil-based varnish low migration Pearleffect OEF 900 overprints pieces, which should be matt effects at the finished product.
The oil printing plate cuts pieces out, which should be glossy. The Pearltec waterbased varnish DH10-40 is using full inline with anilox roller 13ccm.
The effect varnish system isn’t dry as soon as you printed. Because of this, the height of pile depends on varnish quantity and substrate.
It’s nessassary to do a stack ventilation after the first and after about 30 minutes after the second run of face and reverse printing.
Otherwise there is the risk of blocking in the stack.
This varnish was developed to reach structure effects in correspondence with UV varnish Pearlgloss UVH10-50.
It is processed like a conventional oil based varnish in the printing unit.
The oil-based varnish Pearleffect OEF 901 overprints pieces, which should be structure effects at the finished product.
The oil printing plate cuts pieces out, which should be glossy. The Pearltec UV varnish UVH10-50 is using full inline.

It’s necessary to do a stack ventilation after the first and after about 30 minutes after the second run of face and reverse printing.
Otherwise there is the risk of blocking in the stack.
The great advantage of this varnish is that it has a number of technical advantages in it because of the last binder structure. Suitable for wet in wet or wet in dry.
Product properties
- oil based varnish
- good gloss
- low yellowing
- short drying time
- high safety of piles
- very good rub resistant
- easy processing with and without water
Pile height and potential spray powder quantity go by order quantity and the quality of the substrate.
The very good stack security (no gluing in normal print job) doesn’t release the printer from its control function.
A light dry support of IR drying allows a faster finishing.
Easy processing and faultless print results are ensured even with a high content of pre-printed inks.

The very good stack security doesn’t release the printer from its control function.
A light dry support of IR drying allows a faster finishing.
The process is suitable for wet in wet and wet in dry.
Suitable for the subsequent overprint of offset inks, if matt effects should achieved.
The slippage and the rub resistance of the dried inks are a little bit reduced in favor of the velvet matt effect.
Product properties
- Oil based varnish
- Drying: ink penetration and oxidative
- Stack behavior: good
- Quickness: normal, suitable for wet in wet
- Matt effect: very good
- Resistance to blocking*: above 80 °C (176°F)
- Rub resistance: limited
- Self-coloring: low
- Yellowing: low
- Viscosity: ca. 5 Pa.s/20 °C
- Usable: wet in wet and wet in dry
- Suitable for: gloss coated paper and cardboards
Suitable for full-print (without water) or to partial coating.
Normal drying time, with 2 % additive, dehumidifier 452 or 3% Grafo Drier with partial coating with water can advance the drying.
Use: All offset inks can be over printed. Stacking height and spray powder accord to the coating thickness and the substrate.
This varnish was developed to refine printed matters, which are printed on matt-coated materials in operation S + W.
Product properties
- oil based varnish
- silk matt
- supports the contrast matt/ gloss
- very good film formation
- very good rub resistant
- easy processing with and without water
- short drying time
- suitable wet in wet
The advantage of this varnish is the matt character of the substrate, which is also ensured after varnishing. Thank to this varnish the silk gloss of the printed layout is in good conditions on the matt-coated paper.
The contrast of matt/ gloss is still there after varnishing.
This varnish produces very good film hardness and so it offers a high rub resistance.
Cause of the easy processing with and without water it is possible to varnish partially specified parts of printed matters.
