Printing is generally a two-dimensional medium and also optically ƃat, since up to
now the digital processes were limited to colored inks.
It was only recently, with the introduction of clear ink, that unique new enhancement
options became possible: Raised surfaces that feel realistic to the touch, such as
canvas, leather, animal skin, etc., convey a completely new tactile look and a 3D
experience, while maintaining the beneƂts of regular digital printing. High-gloss is not
a must, since the lacquer also comes in a semi-gloss and matt Ƃnish.
However, since the clear lacquer is applied to selected areas, the additional Victorinox
protective coating can no longer be utilized. The abrasion stability is still high and is
not degraded by the clear lacquer in any way.
