Northwest Coatings has introduced UV/EB curable special effects coatings, including pearlescent, glitter and color changing effects, to enhance the appearance of printed materials for commercial and consumer product packaging.
One color changing effect known as Phantavision produces different effects depending on the viewing angle. High contrast color shifts appear with sharp changes in the viewing angles, while smooth changes occur with gradual curves. Phantavision coatings may be tailored to produce a variety of different colors and appearances.
Northwest’s special effect coatings are designed for both web and sheetfed applications and may be applied in-line or off-line over most inks, primers and substrates. These coatings have a variety of end-use characteristics, such as hot stamping, scratch resistance, high flexibility, and water and chemical resistance.
