Press Release - UV Inkjet Coated Polycarbonate Added to JetView Line

New Berlin, WI - Tekra has announced the introduction of their proprietary UV inkjet coated polycarbonate to their current JetView® polyester offering for UV inkjet printing.

UV inkjet is the fastest growing technology in the wide format digital printing market with its speed, efficient production, and compatibility with so many different substrates. However, often when an adhesive is applied over the UV ink, the adhesive bonds stronger to the ink, thus separating the ink from the substrate and damaging the print. Customers have presented this problem to Tekra, and Tekra has since successfully developed a coated solution.

Tekra’s JetView UV Inkjet Coated Polycarbonate shows significantly improved ink adhesion over the non-coated product. This coating can be applied to any polycarbonate finish and is soon to be released on polyester films. Printed samples have been thoroughly tested with great results on a variety of presses, including Oce’, Mimaki, and EFI.

The JetView Polycarbonate products that are stocked and available in small minimums are:
10 mil JetView Gloss/Gloss Polycarbonate
15 mil JetView Gloss/Gloss Polycarbonate
5 mil JetView Velvet/Matte Polycarbonate
10 mil JetView Velvet/Matte Polycarbonate

Typical applications include point of purchase, signage, industrial graphics, membrane touch switch overlays, labels, and nameplates.
