Polyart ensures rich, vivid images with excellent ink holdout without requiring special preparation. Printing Tips Offset Printing Inks Use litho inks (which have low mineral oil content) and control ink/water balance. You'll get the same printing result with minimum damping and less ink film. With lighter basis weights, use special inks with very low mineral oil content that are allowed to dry entirely by oxidation. For best results, consult with your ink suppliers. For both heavier and lighter basis weights, print on the dry side while maintaining good ink/water balance. Ink tacks should be in 16 tack or below. Multi-color work is best achieved when printed in a single pass on a multi-color press. Proofing Where possible, practice undercolor removal in wet-on-wet printing (to keep film weight down). Use minimum ink weight in solid area Drying Ink is usually run straight from the can. In some instances, may need to include small amount of non-mineral oil reducer. (Consult ink manufacturer in these cases.) Successful results can be achieved using UV drying techniques with appropriate UV inks, as well as electron beam and infrared drying techniques. Oven temperature should not exceed 74°C / 165°F. (Maximum web temperature 38°C / 100°F) Stacking Heights of approximately 500 sheets (5 inches / 13cm or less) are recommended. Feeding Polyart will feed just like a matte-coated paper on all types of feeders. Ensure that sheets are aired (fanned) prior to printing. Anti-Offset Spray Powder Should be used during printing by litho and letterpress. With heavy four-color process and/or solid background work, use non-vanishing, starch-based offset sprays of small particle size (20 microns and above ≈ .5 to 1 mil). Humidity Keep pressroom humidity levels at 45-60%. Small Offset Machines Keep the proposed end-use in mind when selecting inks. (For example, light-fast inks must be specified for prints to be exposed to sunlight.) Synthetic oxidizing inks are recommended. Litho & Letterpress For best results, use screen sizes of up to 175 screen. Polyart Digital on HP Indigo digital presses Polyart is available in a range of HP Indigo certified substrates qualified for use with both sheet and web output devices. Ensure that the sheets have been aired and fanned before loading into the feeder. As with all synthetic papers and films, it maybe necessary to carry out one or more null cycles, as well as blanket shift separations for correct CPR control to obtain optimum print register.

No matter what converting method you have in mind, Polyart® is ready to go to work for you. It can easily be scored, folded, perforated, varnished, foil blocked, stitched and more, using standard converting equipment. Finishing All internal corners should be radiused, since a sharp notch will greatly reduce the initial tear resistance of the material. The cutting tools must be kept sharp to produce a clean cut. Guillotining Blades should be kept sharp, and because of the compressibility of the material, light clamping pressures should be used. Die-Cutting We recommend the use of hard steel rules. All internal corners should be radiused (a sharp notch greatly reduces tear resistance). Where a retention point is required, we recommend this should be kept as small as possible to prevent risk of initiating tearing. Perforating Can be sprocket-punched or perforated. Keep hole punches sharp and clean. Perforation slots should be long, with very short ties. Always test perforations and make sure perforation is running off the sheet, so tearing is initiated more easily. Drilling, Punching & Cornering Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. During drilling and cornering, it is important that a short dwell time is used in order to eliminate heat generation, which may cause fusion of the edges of the sheets. For cornering perforation slots should be long, with very short ties. Folding Polyart can be folded on normal sheet-folding machines. Scoring is not necessary for a 16-page signature using 75 gsm (51 lb.) or 90 gsm (61 lb.) weights. Scoring is recommended on heavier weights. Foil-stamping Gives good results if heat is kept to a minimum Stitching Polyart will stitch easily, even when saddle-stitched and section-sewn Gluing For best results, use hot-melt systems (some solvent- and water-based adhesives work well, too) Advice in this page is based on practical field experience and given in good faith but Arjobex may not be held liable for loss or damage arising from action based on this information. ]]> Thu, 17 Jul 2014 09:30:08 +0200 /en/synthetic-paper/extraordinary-synthetic-paper/thermal-transfer-printing Polyart® is a natural for applications demanding the printability and converting characteristics of paper as well as the durability of plastic.

Q: Q: What is Polyart®? A: A high-density Polyethylene film with a matte clay coating on both sides. Q: What are its characteristics? A: Very durable, almost completely tear-proof, resistant to most oils and chemicals, very water-resistant and very easy to print by all processes. Q: Which printing processes are most suitable for Polyart? A: Polyart can be printed by conventional processes such as flexo, litho, offset UV, gravure, rotary letterpress, screen, as well as variable information systems such as thermal transfer, ion deposition, dot matrix and digital such as UV ink jet and HP Indigo. For more information, see the How it Prints section. Q: Is Polyart printable by inkjet? A: Polyart can be printed on UV inkjet, for the other technologies (aqueous, solvent, eco solvent) Polyart requires a specific treatment. Q: Will Polyart run on my copier? A: Probably not. Most copiers' fuser rolls are too hot. When Polyart gets too hot, it will shrink. (However, Xerox does have a new low-temperature copier that will probably work.) Q: Will Polyart run on my laser printer? cc Not unless you have a cold fusion, flash or chemical laser printer. Unfortunately, most laser printers are too hot. Q: Why is Polyart clay-coated? A: Clay coating eliminates the two biggest problems of plastic sheets: static and slow drying. Polyart has no static and provides a smooth, uniform surface that speeds drying. Q: How long does Polyart take to dry? A: Polyart dries much faster than most plastics. To make completely certain it has hard-dried, you should let it dry overnight. Q: What precautions do I need to take when using Polyart outdoors? A: None. Polyart contains no artificial whiteners or brighteners, which cause other plastics to become brittle and break in the sun. Polyart holds up very well outdoors in sunlight but we recommend the use of lightfast inks. Q: Does Polyart come in a pressure-sensitive grade? A: Yes. Many of our customers convert Polyart into pressure-sensitive products. If you're interested, contact us and we'll suggest some pressure-sensitive converters to you. Q: Where can I buy Polyart? Can I get a brochure or samples? A: Please Contact Us for information, brochures or samples. Q: What is the range available? Can I get a special sheet size? A: Go to the Product range section.
