Rives papers, text and boards give excellent printing results with all major print processes. To optimise the print results we offer some recommendations:

Design and pre-press

· A screen of 133 -150 lpi should be used.
· Finer screens up to a maximum of 200 lpi can also give very good results with careful ink density control.
· For dark 4 colour images with high ink density, under colour removal may be required depending on the visuals.
· Aim for the total ink film weight of 260%.

Offset litho printing

For optimum results on textured products increase the blanket pressure or use a softer blanket to achieve consistent ink lay down.

Printing inks

· Conventional positive drying inks should be used with or without infra-red drying assistance.
· Fully oxidizing inks or UV inks may also be used.
· Avoid using overnight / stay fresh / duct stable inks (this is essential for Ice White, where fully-oxidizing inks are recommended).
· Always allow sufficient drying time.
· Use laser stable inks for subsequent laser printing.
· It is always advisable to consult your ink supplier about specific projects to ensure ink suitability.

Paper handling

· To help avoid marking and set-off when printing multiple colours, 35micron anti set off spray for boards and 20micron for paper weights are recommended.
· It may also be helpful to turn off the delivery stack joggers and restrict the delivery pile height particularly when printing boards.
· Always protect paper from environmental humidity and temperature changes by using stack covers or stretch wrap.

Sealers and coatings

· Sealers and press coatings can be used to help reduce marking for further operations.
· Ensure the inks are suitable and best results are achieved when the inks are dry before sealing.

Varnishing

· To achieve a gloss varnish, it is essential to pre-seal the surface with Silk screen applied matt UV varnish, followed by subsequent applications of gloss UV varnish to achieve the desired effect.
· Ensure suitable inks are used prior to varnishing and that the inks are completely dry before varnish application.
· Not recommended for paper weights. Consider a clear hot foil as an alternative.

Silk screen printing

· Paper and board inks can be used, but when ink opacity is necessary vinyl inks give good results.
· UV inks can be used.
· For accurate ink placement the screen requires intimate contact with the substrate. Consequently some image detail will be compromised when silk screen printing on to the Rives textured papers.
· It may be necessary to remove the paper texture from the image area to improve print clarity.

Blind embossing

· All finishes can be blind embossed.
· For subsequent laser printing, we recommend a shallow embossing.
· It may be necessary to remove the paper texture from the image area to improve embossing clarity.

Hot foil stamping

· All finishes in the range can be foil stamped.
· Foil printers can recommend the best foil for the image and paper choice.
· It may be necessary to remove the paper texture from the foiled area to improve image clarity.

Die stamping

· Rives papers can be easily die stamped with superior results on smooth papers with very detailed imagery.
· Use waterbased inks for subsequent use with laser printers.

Thermography

UV thermography systems can be used for letterheads ensuring compatibility with office printers.

Film laminating

· Rives papers can be film laminated.
· Silvering may be evident depending on the print image.
· To reduce silvering increase laminating pressure and if possible apply excess adhesive if using wet glue lamination.
· The film will bridge the texture of Rives Design.

Die and laser cutting

· Rives papers and boards can be die cut.
· While laser cutting is easy some scorching will be apparent around the cut area.
· Laser cut papers are more prone to mis-feeds and jams within office printing technologies.

Folding and creasing

· To guarantee good folding results, prior creasing is recommended.
· Creases should be made parallel to the grain of the board.
· For best results, a creasing rule and matrix system should be used.
· Fold towards the bead for prominent folds.

Binding and adhesives

Standard adhesives and binding techniques can be used.

Office printing

· Compatibility to office printers should be tested.
· Low weight Rives papers often give acceptable results for text and simple graphic applications.

Digital technologies

· The HP Indigo versions of Rives products are fully certified for use with HP Indigo digital presses.
· For dry toner digital presses we stock a variety of Rives products in SRA3 format.
· Other Rives papers work on various dry toner digital presses.
· Compatibility to other dry toner digital presses should be tested.
