Agfa to Launch New Duratex Media

Agfa Graphics is launching new media under its Duratex brand at the 2015 ISA Sign Expo being held in Las Vegas in April.

The new Duratex media being showcased at ISA include:

• Duratex 15 oz. PVC Backlit Banner—a smooth, translucent backlit banner media that is printed for indoor and outdoor signage applications. It is compatible with most solvent, eco-solvent, latex and UV curable inkjet printers.
• Duratex Composite PVC/PET/PVC Blockout Film—a non-curling, completely opaque media for high resolution single- or double-sided printing. It is ideal for display systems, retractable banner stands, scrolling displays and more.
• Duratex Super White Foamboard—one of the strongest, most rigid on the market with a 94 white point paper surface sandwiched with an extruded polystyrene foam core. It features superior ink adhesion, excellent cutting performance and is designed for point-of-purchase displays, retail display graphics and interior signs.
• Duratex Foam PVC Board—a rigid, foam PVC substrate, designed for high-definition, wide-format digital printers. Provides dazzling images and sharp text for top-quality signs, POP displays and exhibition backdrops.

“We have a few substrate surprises up our sleeves at ISA,” said Larry Salomon, vice president, Wide-format Inkjet Segment, Agfa Graphics, North America. “There is no other rigid product on the market that offers superior ink adhesion, excellent color pop with crisp and clean finishing than Duratex Foam PVC Board. We’re offering Duratex Foam PVC Board in solid bright white, double sided bright white with a recycled black core, or single sided bright white with a recycled black underside. The black material is 80 percent recycled. The product itself is 100 percent inspirational for any client looking for creative cutting, routing and engraving applications.”

Agfa Graphics’ Duratex inkjet media is designed for UV curable, eco-solvent, solvent and latex wide and grand format inkjet printing systems. Available from 30-196″ width in a variety of roll lengths, Duratex media provides a value line of Banner, Adhesive backed, Backlit, Textile and Rigid substrates for Display, Sign and Exhibit Applications.

Show attendees can experience these and other media when they check out the Surf N’ Crab Application Zone at the Agfa Graphics booth at ISA. The “Surf N’ Crab” features unique applications created entirely with digital and inkjet technologies.

These and other Agfa Graphics solutions will be in booth #1350 at ISA’s Sign Expo 2015, being held from April 9-11 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center. For more information, click here.
