Hydroprint
Hydroprint is a coated polyester (PET) film made for dry toner digital printing. It is waterproof and weatherproof, and resists chemicals, alcohol and tearing. Prints need no laminating; they come off the printer protected. It is synthetic with no grain direction, and it can be die-cut, folded, scored and creased, though drilling should be avoided. Litho printing is possible with UV or fully oxidising inks made for plastics.
Listed applications include ID cards, loyalty cards, wristbands, plant spikes, industrial tags, waterproof maps, manuals and signs. There are 18 film types, from clear, frosted and translucent films to whites, vivid colours, metallics and adhesive versions. Only Metalik 1/S Gold and Silver have a listed weight: 330gsm.
