Unimatch is a state of the art, Pantone® (licensed opaque mixing system. It was specifically formulated to create intense, bright colors with low build up. This unique low build up and superior wet on wet printing makes flash curing (underbase excluded) virtually unnecessary, and the perfect choice for both manual and automatic printing. Printers have reported excellent results printing 10 colors wet on wet over a flashed underbase. The intense, oipaque coilors allow printing through finer mesh for increased print sharpness.
