German term or phrase: Gasnachbehandlung
Durch Gasvorbehandlung wird eine verbesserte
Farbhaftung erzielt. Das Druckbild wird durch
Zwischentrocknung der einzelnen Farben danach
weiter optimiert. Optional sorgt eine Gasnachbehandlung
für eine noch bessere Farbhaftung.

Context: pad printing machine

Was wird hier mit Gas (was für ein Gas?) vor- bzw. nachbehandelt? Das zu bedruckende Teil oder die Farbe?

English translation:(thermal) post-treatment
Explanation:

Here's a useful link with details about the pre- and post-treatment process, also mentioning the types of gas used. The pre-treatment is done on the substrate, the post-treatment on the ink. Hopefully your further context will help confirm whether "flame treating" and "thermal post-treatment" are the terms you are looking for.

"Flame treating is the most widely used method of pretreatment. Like corona treatment, it may be done in house or by the substrate manufacturer. Flexible and reliable if carefully controlled, flame treating enables uneven and curved surfaces to be treated. This process uses a mixture of air and gas such as butane, propane, methane, etc."

"If you are printing a polyolefin and pretreating it isn't an option, special inks are available that don't require pretreatment. These single-part inks require efficient post-treatment in the form of either IR, forced-air, flame, or UV drying that enhances the final characteristic of the relevant ink system. Without this post-treatment, the highly stable structure of the material makes satisfactory adhesion impossible."

remedial treatment with gas


Explanation:
nachbehandeln is usually translated as such. Not sure if it is appropriate for the subject matter. Could also say: "Additional treatment with gas will further enhance ink adhesion."
