UV Gloss Varnish 1L – Ricoh Gen5 Printheads – UR100-GL
The UR100-GL UV Gloss varnish is a clear varnish designed for UV printers fitted with Ricoh Gen5 printheads. It is applied as a top coat, either flood or spot, over the colour inks.
The varnish cures instantly under the printer's UV lamps and forms a glossy film on the surface. This layer delivers a uniform gloss finish and improves the print's rub resistance.
Supplied in a 1 L bottle without chip, it feeds bulk ink systems directly, with no electronic cartridge management.
