1" Core SLEEKpro Digital Spot and Foil Finishes
The Sleek™ Print Finishing method involves a special image transfer that bonds the Sleeker finish to most digital inks, toners, and laminated surfaces. Also known as "sleeking", this finishing method makes special effects, and designs printing easy to produce.
Similar to foils but substantially easier to apply and with a much lower cost, Sleeker technology can create finishes with a metalized background or a dramatic holographic impression. Available in gloss, matte, gold, silver, and three holographic patterns, sleeking can be applied to a background, then overprinted once again, or it can be applied on top of a special laminated surface, once overprinted with digital inks.
Sleeking is excellent for both short and long-run publishing, making special effects, variable data printing and security applications a snap. Apply to book covers, presentations, I.D.'s, greeting cards, posters and much more.
