New substrates reduce costs
Colourgen has announced additions to its Elite Essentials range of value inkjet media, including water-based and solvent media designed for exhibition graphics, roll-up displays and pop-up systems. As an example, Solvent Crystal Stoplight film features a textured printable coating on one side, anti-static grey lightblock cover on the reverse and is designed to eliminate curl on pop-ups.
Colourgen's general manager, Peter Davidson, said: "The new Crystal product can generate massive savings for customers. Until now, users have had to run either a two or three part system which requires adhering the printed media onto a stoplight backer film and then running it through a laminator to get the required textured finish. Typically, this could cost up to £12m2. With the Elite Essential Crystal printable stoplight media, users need only run the material in one pass, saving 50 per cent in material costs as well as minimising the potential for errors and wastage and saving on production costs."
Regarding water-based products, Elite Essentials Pearl Printable Stoplight is a photo quality product, helping users produce quality roll-up and pop-up systems on their Epson, HP or Canon printers.
