Wide format printing on DuPont™ Tyvek®
Signs and banners made of Tyvek® can be printed using traditional offset, screen or flexographic processes. They can also be printed with excellent results on inkjet presses. For wide format inkjet printing on UV-cure equipment, plain Tyvek® can be used; aqueous, solventor eco-solvent inks require the Tyvek® substrate to be coated.
Tyvek® and the environment
The exceptionally low basis weight of DuPont™ Tyvek® allows more banners to be produced per roll, potentially reducing energy use in transportation. Because Tyvek® is made of high-density polyethylene, signs and banners made of Tyvek® can be readily recycled into products such as drainpipes, decks and playground equipment at the end of their useful life. Tyvek® can also be safely incinerated, and because it yields water and carbon dioxide, it essentially leaves no residue for disposal. And, if recycling or incineration are not options, Tyvek® can be safely landfilled. Because it is chemically inert and contains no binders, Tyvek® will not leach into groundwater.
Typical applications
Signs and banners must catch the eye and engage the mind while withstanding the punishments of time, use and weather. DuPont™ Tyvek® print media offers solutions for every type of wide format application challenge.
Indoor banners, posters and in-store POP displays made with DuPont™ Tyvek® are versatile and easy to use—especially for seasonal signage. The lightweight flexibility of Tyvek® enables signage to be stored and reused time after time. In addition, the non-glare surface helps make messages easy to read, even from a distance.
Outdoor banners made with DuPont™ Tyvek® are strong and versatile, with the ability to withstand daunting temperatures and weather conditions. They can resist strong sunlight when light-fast inks are used and won’t yellow over time. The non-glare surface allows low reflectivity for easy reading, even in the face of reflection.
Rolling display panels made with thin, lightweight Tyvek® allow more ads to be produced per roll compared with other substrates. In addition, these panels are weather-resistant and retain their good looks even when repeatedly rolled and unrolled.
Other applications include architectural “wraps”, murals, building banners, pole- and post-mounted banners. Because of its flexibility, Tyvek® is adaptable to virtually every type of wide format application need.
