Autotex DP polyester film has been approved by Hewlett Packard for use with its Indigo digital printing presses

MacDermid Autotype has added to its Autotex range of textured, screen printable films with Autotex DP, a polyester film designed to combine an attractive appearance with resistance to abrasion and chemicals. Both the DP F150 and F200 have been approved by Hewlett Packard for use with its S2000, WS2000, WS4050 Indigo digital printing presses.

The textured films, measuring 150 or 200 microns, consist of a coated polyester base with a primer surface on the second side, designed to enhance ink adhesion. Both films are said to offer a good flex life, maintaining an attractive appearance and consistent, low gloss textured surface over extended durations. The film also provides scratch and chemical resistance thanks to its chemically bonded, UV-cured textured coating. Film can be used with MacDermid's Windotex screen printable windowing lacquer to incorporate clear, scratch resistant windows.

Due to its combination of ink adhesion and resistance to wear and cleaning, Autotex DP is ideal for applications such as membrane switch overlays, surface applications, nameplates, labels and product marking and fascia panels. The film's protective surface is said to give a switch life performance of over five million actuations, even when embossed.
