Why is everyone so excited by this new technology you ask? Well GMP provide an exciting new laminating technology called 'sleeking' that can add an array of optical effects simply with one machine in-house. This specialty method is creating a lot of interest in the print world, being able to use image transfer technology that will bond with digital ink.
Above is a stage 2 print Silktouch and digitally printed over with a Sleeking gloss film.
In comparison to foils it comes at a much lower cost using a one-stop service. With this process it provides more freedom easily, offering a variety of expressions and array of overlays to produce high added value on-demand with one laminating machine.
The GMP machines Pro-topic and Q-topic provide this unique method that in turn eliminates the need to have UV coating to create diverse effects. Sleeking technology gives you the option to apply Gloss, Holographic impressions, Silver and Gold film overlays for full image, spot image and background image printing.
