Nobelus, manufacturer of specialty line of films for the print and packaging trade, has added SmudgeProof laminate with DigiBond adhesive to its smudge-resistant thermal film line
This clear, OPP film guards against scuff marks, smudges, and fingerprints on prints, packaging and book covers. The DigiBond adhesive, used on the SmudgeProof base film, is made especially for digital toner presses from companies such as Xerox, Kodak, Konica Minolta, and Ricoh.   
 
The 1.2 millimeter protective laminate performs well in digital applications prone to more handling while retaining the ‘petal-soft’ feel. The film’s high surface energy is ideal for post-print embellishments, especially detailed Scodix artwork.      
 
‘We’re excited to extend our SmudgeProof protective film out to a broader group of digital print providers,’ said Tom Snooks, Consumables product manager at Nobelus. ‘Our clients with HP Indigo presses have utilized the standard version of this thermal laminate for years and with the rollout of the DigiBond option now more clients can add this smudge-proof film to their finishing portfolio.’
