The process of gilding cold as its name suggests, involves locking the sheet without the use of heat. Hot Stamping Film traditional require heat and pressure to transfer the sheet of the company's film on the substrate being printed, while the cold does not disappoint.

A thin hot company usually consists of a polyester or, more rarely, polypropylene or cellulose film, a layer of output, a layer of lacquer, which determines the color shade of gold or metallic color effect, a layer of aluminum vacuum deposited and finally a layer of grip size to the population printed. A cold plate is essentially the same structure, but blind tooling generally requires thinner layer of aluminum and the adhesive layer is not always necessary.

Hot stamping is applied to the population through a heating die at a temperature between about 100 degrees Celsius over 200C, depending on the type of printing press used and the area being blocked. Heat activated in both the adhesive layer and output layer, and allows transfer sheet film company, according to the design table.

A plate of cold, on the other hand, requires no heat and adhesion is achieved through a mechanism completely different. In the design of blind tooling is applied using a heated die, but it is printed in the form UV activated adhesives. No printing technique in theory can be used in blind tooling, although offset lithography and flexography are most common. The race starts, the design using UV adhesive applied to the printing plate or blanket, sheet and blind tooling attached by a line of contact and The sandwich came under the UV lamps to cure the adhesive. Printing gilding and cold layers are separated and rewind. Since the UV is penetrate the aluminum layer, that heat is thinner sheet of aluminum foil to cool. A cold plate must have sufficient density Optical low to be sufficiently transparent to UV light that can cure the glue in the short time available.

So, in short, blind tooling include the printing of an adhesive, cut the sandwich in aluminum cold, salted, and then separated, leaving the foil adhered Printed in the population according to the design of the adhesive.

Cold normally frustrate traditional reel to reel and used for self-adhesive labeling industry, but recent developments have enabled a viable sheet fed process that will be used.

Whatever the method used, the gilding is still cold to give a high brightness of the traditional hot stamping. The line contact, consisting of a metal roller and rubber roller printing is immaculately clean or holes in the final result. Cold film is prone to the formation of voids and pin – other visual defects. Separating foil cold is crucial, as shown on the Web. Cold foil is particularly vulnerable to wrinkles, if networks are not completely flat once assembled,

BENEFITS

The advantages of blind tooling are as follows:

1. Online frustrating. The unit of blind tooling can be made online after processes print, and, if necessary, the printing process. In the blind tooling, the process has become a slow process of stamping hot printing process to a rapid with a cold plate. The printer avoids a relatively slow process further by using a cold plate at Instead of a hot plate.

2. Quick start. The use of traditional printing methods, such as compensation allows rapid assembly of sheet aluminum foil against the cold than hot. No packaging required to ensure the cold keeps the same pressure in the substrate and the cold plate is applied to wet glue.

3. The expense of having die cut metal is removed with blind tooling. The process gilding cold becomes more attractive for small series, whereas previously the costs could prohibit dies.

4. Since we use a method print, there are fewer problems with the registration blind tooling. The process of leaf Wish problems occur frequently in the registry that require time to correct.

DISADVANTAGES

1. In cold print quality aluminum not as good as the gilding hot. The brightness is generally lacking in the holes and are a problem.

2. Cold sheet requires thorough cleaning If defects surface has been minimized, and hardness, cleanliness, alignment and cutting pressure roller is very important.

3. The energy supplied by UV lamps must be properly maintained foil or cold will not adhere to the partially cured adhesive. In the blind tooling, transmission of UV Energy through the sheet is critical. The problems may be experienced with colored paper intense cold that act as UV absorbers, and defeat the substrates blue, black and deep cold can be difficult to overcome, because these colors contain pigments that act as UV absorbers and thus leaving less energy to cure the adhesive. For these reasons, many providers offer no sheet in cold, deep voice.

Overall, however, the cold foil is increasing in popularity due to the increased profitability of give, especially in areas where the highest quality frustrating not necessary. Newer gilding techniques to compensate for cold is rapidly gaining ground in quality traditional dishes hot, so most manufacturers of paper hot stamping aluminum cold now included in its portfolio.

How do you like or not a man who is cut from cats and dry food for cats in the bed?

I have 3 cats. I put a flat sheet on our bed for health reasons. My husband cut cat buys in bulk and put into sets bed.Also (loose) dry food for cats the bed. He thinks that's fine. Now when I go to bed, you must tighten the sheet. He thinks that's fine. What is your opinion. I think it is beyond stupid. Our couch has become a blanket with cutting cat. Is this reasonable. Who sleeps in a bucket of food?

I think your husband needs a little lesson on the label if it is not hygienic. This is not good, I mean, it's soft spoil kittens in vain, but we must stand firm and draw the line. This is one of those moments "compromise" to enter into marriage.
