Pertinax is an ideal make-ready to use when hot foil stamping paper and thin board where graphics are of fine line or detail to achieve crisp clean prints.

It is a highly recommended make-ready when foiling onto paper where it is essential there is no image show through on the reverse.

Pertinax is also used during foil embossing in conjunction with Pragotherm 800. It is also known as cutting base when used on label process machines as the Pertinax forms a hard base for the cutting blade.
