Leveraging its long-standing partnership with inkjet technology expert Xaar, Nilpeter is seeing a growing number of its presses offering advanced digital varnish and foiling embellishments to meet the demand for added-value labels in Italy.

The following is a guest post by Austin Gunter of WPEngine.com. If you’re looking to boost performance for a content-heavy WordPress installation, adding a cache like Varnish is a great way to boost your site’s performance.

Provided are an adhesive composition with good storage stability, heat resistance, moisture resistance reliability, and adhesion properties; and a curl- and heat-resistant adhesive film and a wiring film using the adhesive composition. The adhesive composition contains 100 parts by weight of a phenoxy resin (A) having plural alcoholic hydroxyl groups in a side chain of the molecule thereof; 2 to 60 parts by weight of a polyfunctional isocyanate compound (B) having an isocyanate group and at least one functional group selected from vinyl, acrylate, and methacrylate groups in the molecule thereof; and 5 to 30 parts by weight of a maleimide compound (C) having plural maleimide groups in the molecule thereof or/and reaction product thereof, in which a total amount of the components (B) and (C) is from 7 to 60 parts by weight.

A charge-transporting varnish according to the present invention includes a charge-transporting substance, a dopant substance, and an organic solvent, wherein the charge-transporting substance contains at least one selected from N,N'-di(1-naphthyl)benzidine, N,N'-di(2-naphthyl)benzidine, and N-(1-naphthyl)-N'-(2-naphthyl)benzidine. The charge-transporting varnish allows formation of a charge-transporting thin film with which an organic EL element excellent in durability can be achieved when the charge-transporting thin film is applied to a hole injection layer.

A thin film that has high flatness and high charge transport properties and enables an organic EL element to achieve excellent luminance characteristics if applied thereto can be obtained by using a charge-transporting varnish which contains a charge-transporting substance, an organosilane compound that is composed of a polymer prepared in advance by subjecting an alkoxysilane compound to hydrolysis-condensation and having a weight average molecular weight of 500-10,000, and an organic solvent, said alkoxysilane compound containing at least one compound selected from among alkoxysilane compounds represented by formulae (1-1) and (1-2). SiR1(OR2)3 (1-1) SiR12(OR2)2 (1-2) (In the formulae, each R1 independently represents an alkyl group having 1-20 carbon atoms, which is substituted by Z1, or the like; each R2 independently represents an alkyl group having 1-20 carbon atoms, which may be substituted by Z3; and each of Z1 and Z3 represents a halogen atom or the like.)
