Masterpiece unveils RIT-certified wine labelstocks for HP presses

Posted in New Products on April 01, 2010

The Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) Printing Applications Laboratory has certified two Masterpiece Graphix materials for use on HP Indigo industrial roll presses: Masterpiece Premium Estate Label #9/Perm/44# PK (R1232), and Premium Estate Label #8/Perm/44# PK (R1233). Both materials are certified for use on the HP Indigo ws4050, ws4500 and the ws6000, and both passed the RIT HP Indigo certification test with high performance ratings.

Masterpiece Premium Estate Label #9/Perm/44# PK is a bright white, 60# wet strength vellum paper. Masterpiece Premium Estate Label #8/Perm/44# PK is a cream, 60# wet strength paper. Both materials share the same permanent emulsion acrylic adhesive, which removes from most substrates in 100 deg F water. The adhesive adheres well to glass, HDPE, PVC, PET, Lexan and stainless steel. The facestock texture and printed appearance of both substrates make them suited to wine labeling, as well as premium beverage and high-end grocery applications.
