What is best for my type of printing, Non-topcoated or topcoated material?
Printing processes vary. It is best to get the film that best suits your process. A simple rule of measure is:
- For Vinyl - Non-topcoated is best for UV Screen & Offset Printing and Solvent Digital Inkjet too. Top-coated is best used with conventional off-set printing and screen printing with enamel inks.
- For Polyester - Topcoated or print treated films are used for most screen and off-set printing methods.
