Drytac Europe, one of the leading manufacturers of display and finishing products in the high-end graphics industry, has unveiled a new series of laminates.
The HCW (high coat weight) laminates have been designed to improve the quality of UV laminate printing, which is prone to a number of problems.
Sales director at Drytac Europe, Steve Broad, explained: “As UV printers are now regularly used in the creation of permanent and semi-permanent signage, we have introduced our HCW laminates to extend both the life expectancy and colour integrity of all UV-printed output.”
Broad added that the new laminates developed by Drytac feature anti-graffiti and anti-scratch properties, making them ideal for use in high-traffic areas. In developing the new range, Drytac attempted to overcome one of the major limitations of UV prints: fading caused by exposure to sunlight.
Broad explained that the adhesives used in the new laminates include UV inhibitors, that aim to protect signs from sunlight. That means the quality of UV-printed signs can be maintained to a high standard for an extended period, even in brightly lit areas.
Here at The Sussex Sign Company, we produce long-lasting, high-quality signage that can be used in all weather conditions.
