This digital paper is a coated polyester film which is resistant to heat, ultraviolet (UV) light, water, chemicals and is optimised for high-heat, dry-toner laser-print applications. The white substrate enables vivid colour and precise print reproduction.

Michelle Welch, business director of Teslin substrate products at PPG Industries, said, “We are happy to offer Lumit digital paper to our customers. Adding this polyester-based synthetic to our Teslin substrate product portfolio will expands the range of material choices for customers. Lumit digital paper performs well in various end-use print applications where a rigid, bright white, UV resistant printing substrate is needed.”

Lumit digital paper is ideal for indoor and outdoor print applications such as shelf strips and cooler-door labels in retail and grocery stores because of its colour fidelity, stiffness and durability; plant tags, stakes and wraps in garden and nursery shops; and access-control wristbands for hospitals, water parks and amusement parks.

It is also suitable for specialty applications such as trade show displays, laser-printed construction material tags, non-laminated identification and membership cards, large-format banners, and restaurant menus and table tents. It is also suitable for dry-toner laser, offset lithographic, flexographic, screen, UV-cured inkjet and thermal transfer processes.
