SLEEKING™
Sleeking is a special image transfer that specifically bonds to digital Inks and some toners on many printed surfaces, allowing the ability to create special effects and designs. Sleeking permits the application of a finish, such as gloss or matte, a metalized background, such as gold or silver, or a holographic impression, in spot locations or full coverage. Available in multiple patterns and styles, Sleeking can be applied first onto spot print applications, then trap printed; or can be applied on top of a special printable Karess™ laminate surface, once overprinted with digital ink. The most common application for sleeking today is variable data foiling, as it allows complete variability of data with excellent registration.
