Fusion Digital Paper™ is proud to announce that 10 mil Fusion Soft Polyester, 5 mil Fusion Rigid Polyester, and Fusion Woven Fabric Repositionable have been certified by Konica Minolta for use on their production high heat toner equipment. This means that owners of this equipment can use these great Fusion Digital Paper™ products with runnability confidence and that the end customers will be impressed with the results. If you’ve never used these three products before, here is a run-down of their features:
Fusion Soft Polyester is a unique product because it has the positive characteristics of both polyester and paper. It is water and tear resistant for excellent durability, but also feeds, prints and can handle print finishing processes just like paper does. You can even score and fold any of the three calipers: 7.5, 10 and 12mil. With a very smooth surface that rivals the Sheffield Smoothness of premium uncoated offset sheets, Fusion Soft Polyester provides both beautiful image fidelity and toner adhesion.
Compared to other polyester sheets, Fusion Soft Polyester has virtually NO STATIC build up to assure excellent runnability. This is a feature that cannot be overstated, because if you have tried to run other polyester sheets on your digital equipment, you understand that static is usually an inherent problem with this type of a product. But this is not the case with Fusion Soft Polyester, as you will experience no static problems on either the feeding or receiving ends of your equipment.
Fusion Soft Polyester is very stain resistant which makes it great for menus, and can be hand washed with soap and water and used repeatedly for placemat applications. Fusion Soft Polyester has been used for outdoor books and manuals, and both the image/toner adhesion and product held up admirably, but the most popular use so far is for Menu Paper.
Fusion Rigid Polyester is a strong polyester film that has a coated surface designed for digital applications in three calipers, 5, 8 and 11 mil. A very durable product, Fusion Rigid Polyester is tear resistant and waterproof, and a great product for outdoor applications that will be subjected to the toughest of conditions. The super smooth printing surface yields outstanding image fidelity and toner adhesion. So don’t be afraid of demanding graphics; use Fusion Rigid Polyester when quality and durability matter.
Fusion Woven Fabric Repositionable is a wonderful waterproof, tear resistant and UV resistant synthetic substrate with a repositionable pressure sensitive adhesive. This means you can easily create decals, wall graphics, and signs that can be used both indoors and outdoors on your high heat toner production digital equipment. And what’s more, unlike magnets you can safely apply Fusion Woven Fabric Repositionable to all sorts of clean, dry surfaces from metal and wood to glass and painted walls. The repositionable adhesive means that you can easily adjust the placement of your graphic and remove it when the time comes without any hassle or sticky residue.
