Calibrated Press Boards
Essential underpacking for banknote printing
Press board is a special product based on the purest cellulose obtained from long-fibre softwoods. Without additional binding agents, these are made up into a fibrous web and then pressed.
Evenness with minimum thickness tolerance is achieved during a long calibration process.
The excellent mechanical strength and consistent quality of this underpacking guarantee very high durabilty in Intaglio presses. Several different press board types are available for banknote printing.
