Folex details FESPA Digital product line-up

The range continues to grow, offering customers high quality, consistent, European-manufactured materials, with coatings suitable for all the current ink jet printing technologies.

At the Folex booth (Hall 1, J51) the company will show a new UV ink compatible Roll Up PET film with its classic premium look silverback, light block finish. SI 564 offers a highly stable solution for displays that will create a truly professional impact, with a coating that offers very good ink adhesion to the substrate, when using UV inks.

The Tack family expands with a new clear PET film version in Tack S CL for solvent and Tack UV CL for UV inks. The product has a ultra-removable adhesive and can be applied and repositioned on many smooth different surfaces. Perfect for window graphics, point of sale and signage. This joins the existing PP white product which is produced in a water based or solvent version.

Among the new products which will be demonstrated is the ‘ReproJet’ series for pigment and eco-solvent inks, which offer the necessary resolution and high density for the most demanding screen, flexo and pad applications and the range is today the most extensive in the industry.

The company will also display materials with improved adhesion qualities, for use with UV inks. Membrane switch films and coated films for digital presses will also be on show.

Last year at FESPA’s biggest show in Cologne, Folex launched a range of new materials for high-speed inkjet printing, with a key focus being on users of Memjet printhead technology.

The firm said its newly developed nanoporous coating can be applied to a number of different substrate types, including PET, PP and vinyl.

Among the new products, which were being demonstrated on an RTI Vortex 4200 printer, were water resistant white glossy permanent self-adhesive vinyl SIVN and window graphic film SIGUV, which can be used with UV inks.

Folex Print On product manager Simon Warren said: “The feedback of the performance of the new materials has been extremely positive at FESPA.”

FESPA Digital 2016 will this year play host to a number of companies involved in the inkjet printing sector, each as keen as the other to show off their new products and demonstrate to visitors the various benefits of investing in their kits.
