Poster papers love latex inks
Sihl is launching three new ‘eco-friendlier' multi-purpose poster papers into the large format market. The wet-strength Post-2-Cure papers have been specially developed for use with latex inks from HP and are suited for both indoor and outdoor use.
Sihl Group UK area sales manager, Sam Iliaifar, said: "Latex inks are based on an infra-red hardening technique and require their own media. Sihl offers three high quality wet-strength papers enabling weather and water resistant prints both with the new latex and with UV-hardening inks, while remaining compatible with real solvent inks."
According to Sihl, the poster papers offer impressive colour reproduction and correspond to offset-printed posters in terms of surface feel and appearance.
Sam Iliaifar added: "The heat that has an effect on the paper during processing causes only minimum paper shrinkage and with these properties the new media promises high-quality, superior poster application. They are also ideal for information signs laminated to panels or with a cold laminate finish or for photorealistic posters."
