DEP has launched an illustrated guide to its Synplas brand of synthetic papers and the range of printing applications they can be used for.
The guide, an A5 concertina-folded leaflet that has been printed on Synplas products, contains tables showing the different grades and weights of DEP’s papers, photographic examples of items that have been printed using the papers, and advice on ‘how to print Synplas’.
The papers, which are made of polypropylene and are completely recyclable, are designed to be waterproof, tear resistant, and to repel oils and grease. This makes them well suited to outdoor applications or for use in places where contact with liquids, heavy handling, and humidity may mean that ordinary paper cannot be considered.
Additional variants of the range are available with coatings specially developed by DEP for wide-format printing with digital inkjet and eco-solvent printers. A number of these products are listed in the leaflet as well.
