    How it behaves in production

    • HP Indigo only with Sapphire treatment; not for office laser or inkjet
    • Litho needs oxidising inks and generous drying time on the coated soft-touch surface
    • Test foil adhesion and use bold artwork; hairlines can fill
    • Dark shades can show burnish marks from handling and creasing; score before folding
