The Features and Benefits of Adding a Sealable Layer to InkJet Media

摘要

Sealable Layer technology enables ink jet media to be printed and then surface sealed without the use of a laminating film. The sealing layer is incorporated during media manufacture. The media can be printed using standard inkjet systems and then sealed thermally to produce a resistant layer over the image. The application of such a sealing layer to ink jet media has many benefits for industrial printing applications. As an introduction, the principles of these sealing layers and the equipment required to use the system are described. The main focus of this paper is on the physical and imaging properties of this type of sealing media and the benefits these confer. The testing methods employed are also described. The advantages of this technology will be illustrated with reference to label applications.
