Mactac launches new semi-gloss paper product

‘UVS9002 fills a gap in many converters’ portfolios,’ said Sara Damante, senior marketing manager at Mactac. ‘As the digital and UV space continues to grow, our team recognized a need for additional UV Inkjet products and the launch of this product will deliver great value to converters by increasing efficiencies and improving cost-savings.’

Part of Mactac’s MACjet product line offering, UVS9002 is a 54# brilliant white, semi-gloss paper stock that is suitable for UV Inkjet print engines, as well as flexo. It is accompanied by a 2.4-mil Super Calendared Kraft (SCK) liner and Mactac’s quick-tack 710VHP hot-melt pressure-sensitive adhesive.

The SCK liner is designed for die-cutting, stripping, and label dispensing. According to Mactac, the permanent, rubber-based 710VHP adhesive offers excellent tack and ultimate adhesion to a variety of surfaces, including polystyrene, polypropylene, polyethylene, paper, and corrugate.

UVS9002 is a versatile label that converts on wider webs at higher speeds than other rubber-based adhesive-coated papers. It is well suited for high-quality inkjet labeling applications in multiple segments – from product labeling to VIP labeling – and is also suitable for cold, damp labeling applications.

The product is already approved and qualified on several OEM presses, including:

·         Domino N610i UV press

·         Epson Surepress UV L-6534VW

·         Screen True Press Jet L350 UV

·         Xeikon PX3000

UVS9002 will be qualified on more OEM presses in the near future.
