In response to a demand for products that can improve the durability of HP Indigo-printed images, FLEXcon has introduced eight new DigiPRO® pressure-sensitive films featuring a topcoat that is specifically designed for use with digital offset printing presses.
The new VBS Value and Better DigiPRO® products are offered with either of two complementary DPM® overlaminates for applications requiring more durability and fade resistance.
The permanent adhesive, DigiPRO® constructions consist of two vinyls and six polyesters. Products can be utilized for a variety of durable goods applications, such as brand ID and warning labels, which require a high-shear, high-peel adhesive to resist cold flow and ooze. FLEXcon also offers two removable adhesive constructions supplied in flexible white vinyl for temporary product identification tracking applications.
DigiPRO® films are specifically designed for small-format digital printing with HP Indigo inks and ensure excellent ink receptivity for sharp vibrant image quality. They can be combined with either DPM® CVE (Clear Velvet Embossed) or DPM® UVCG (UV Clear Gloss) overlaminates to dramatically help reduce fading due to weather and sunlight, significantly extending the life of the HP Indigo printed image. DigiPRO® films can also be over-laminated with any of FLEXcon’s many other overlaminates to achieve a desired finish and/or price point. All constructions are offered with either a Kraft roll form liner or a two-side polycoated layflat sheet liner. DigiPRO® films that utilize the DMP® CVE overlaminate are rated for 2-year outdoor durability, while DigiPRO® films coated with the DPM® UVCG overlaminate are rated for 5-year outdoor durability.
