What it's like to run
- At accent coverage on paper, nobody can tell this from Kurz in the hand. That is the whole argument for it.
- It wants a little more dwell and a little more pressure, so on thin or damp stock we watch for curl.
- Batch variation is real — we buy the whole run's foil at once rather than topping up mid-job.
