Covert Specialty Ink

Opti Fluorescent products are water-based liquid pigment dispersions with a pronounced fluorescent effect. In normal daylight conditions “Opti Fluorescents” are virtually invisible on paper. However, upon exposure to UV-A light (optimal effect achieved at approx. 366 nm) the very distinct fluorescent color becomes visible (emission at approx. 533 nm).

Pearlescent Ink

Developed as a versatile pearlescent base for flexographic applications. “Arsepearl 123 – Pearlescent Base” allows printers the capabilities to use it as an over print coating, reverse print, trap over, or can be used to tint colorants to create desired effects.
