Graph Expo Part II

Another synthetic paper source at the show was HOP Industries, which showed HOP-SYN II Dura-Lite synthetic paper made of bi-axially oriented polypropylene. It is tri-laminated through extrusion with an inorganic calcium carbonate coating. This special extrusion process gives Dura-Lite a bright white, smooth matte finish that offers a high opacity for two-sided printing, which will not yellow under the UV rays of the sun. The microporous surface of Dura-Lite will allow inks to anchor into its sheet structure, yielding high print definition, high color resolution and strong protection for the printed image.
