STAFIX®GRIP is a glue-free sticker material that adheres to various clean and very smooth surfaces with a silicon adhesion layer. The material is removable without leaving any residue and reusable even up to 12 months.
Store the unwrapped STAFIX®GRIP in the original package at 25% to 50% relative humidity and 15°C to 25°C temperature. The material should remain sealed in the original wrap until the STAFIX®GRIP material has warmed up to print-room temperature.
Print-room recommended relative humidity is 50% to 60% and temperature is 18°C to 30°C. After use re-seal the remaining unused material in the original package. Proper acclimatization allows for better feeding through the press.
The STAFIX®GRIP Offset clear film is printable with UV and UV-LED inks only. The STAFIX®GRIP Offset white film is printable with UV, UV-LED, and traditional offset inks.
ON PRESS
Print with low levels of water. STAFIX®GRIP absorbs no water and therefore very little water is needed (roughly less than half of what would be required with paper). If possible use metal plates that carry minimal water. The plate requires only enough water to keep the surface wet. For oxidative inks keep the alcohol level from 10 to 15% and follow the guidelines from the ink supplier. The acidity of the dampening solution should not be set too high, (PH value approx. 5.5). Do not apply too high print impression pressure in order to avoid stretching of the film.
INK USAGE
Print with low levels of ink density for faster drying and to avoid offsetting.

TRADITIONAL OFFSET
Print with low levels of water. STAFIX®GRIP Offset absorbs no water and therefore very little water is needed (roughly less than half of what would be required with paper). If possible use metal plates that carry minimal water. The plate requires only enough water to keep the surface wet.
Follow the guidelines from the ink supplier.
Do not apply too high print impression pressure in order to avoid stretching of the film.
UV-OFFSET
Adjust the UV-lamps to a level that still cures the inks but does not deform the film. When using a hybrid-printing machine turn off the IR lamps.
COATINGS
Varnish or coatings can be applied, Make sure you use previously tested varnishes and coatings.
Post-press
STAFIX®GRIP OFFSET can be die-cut and kiss-cut. Always round the corners when die-cutting or kiss cutting because the inner-sharp corners might cause the film to tear, Perforating, binding and direct mail inserting is also possible. When trimming, use sharp, nick-free blades.
PACKING & SHIPPING
