Sihl's PolySOL media proving a winner for latex print

Sihl Direct UK has announced that its PolySOL media is now shipping in the UK.  The satin finished, waterfast polyester film for solvent and latex inks is thick and stiff enough for pop-up-systems and displays and its resistance to high temperatures mean it provides an ideal solution for HP Latex printers.

“Thanks to PolySOL’s grey back, the media has nearly 100% opacity making it ideal for free-standing applications,” says Ian Turnbull, operations director for Sihl Direct UK. “The excellent flatness allows this media to be used for a wide range of signage, advertising and POS applications. The innovative coating and its bright whiteness lead to a quick drying time and a wide colour gamut with Eco-, Mild- and True-Solvent inks as well as Latex inks for HP Latex printers. The product is also suitable for hot and cold lamination.”

Peter Miles, Sales Manager of CMYUK, a Sihl Direct UK reseller, has already seen significant interest from customers, “A lot of people are looking for a good media for pop-up displays on a Latex printer. However, having tried many that claim to be Latex compatible, PolySOL has so far been the first media that delivers the quality and durability required for this application. Just because a media company says their substrates are compatible with Latex does not mean they are. PolySOL has tested very well and our customers have so far been very happy.”

Sihl’s PolySOL range offers high opacity and a high degree of stiffness, making it ideal for pop-up displays. It is also quick drying, tear resistant and offers waterfast prints with high colour brilliance.

PolySOL is available from Sihl Direct UK and authorised resellers, such as cmyuk (www.cmyuk.com).
