Choose from our EZ Koat 20, EZ Koat 30, or Onyx 30 (pictured) for converting untreated stock to Indigo-ready substrate. Compatible stocks include card stock, synthetics, plastics, lenticular and thin. After printing the primed stock, flood coat (EZ Koat 20/30) or flood and/or spot coat (Onyx 30) to enhance and enrich your prints. 

Add high gloss shine, texture and grit, spot UV embellishments, scratch off spots, matte, pearlescent, soft touch feeling, spot not, areas, three-dimensional effects, and more! Digital or inkjet, sheet or roll, small or large volumes - Kompac will have a coating system that will fit your needs.

This partnership will allow us to provide our customers direct access to the latest UV and aqueous coating technology for off-line and online finishing production in the graphic arts industry.”
