  Poly Paper

  Posted by Chris johnson on 11 December 2012 at 14:06

  Hi All,

  This is my first post on here so before I start thanks for any help you can offer.

  I am looking for an eco-solvent media that our competitors term as poly-paper but feels more like plastic. To try and describe it, the material is very resistant to tearing and has virtually no glare/reflection once printed. It is waterproof and as thin as paper. It seems like some sort of synthetic material.

  A lot of my competitors are in the US so maybe it has more meaning over there.

  If you can help me out I would be very grateful.

  Thanks

  Chris

  I have also just noticed that some also call it synthetic paper, if that helps.

  Thanks

  Thanks guys, I am going to obtain a sample of Tyvek & Hydrosol.
  I couldn’t find the Xerox product but will have a good look tommorow.

  Anyone else have any other thoughts on this?
