MGX releases hardcoated polyester stocks

Masterpiece Graphix (MGX) has released new polyester (PET) stocks for the digital print industry: Revolution clear gloss hardcoated PET, and Revolution clear anti-glare hardcoated PET.  

These polyester synthetics are a part of MGX’s exclusive Revolution line of digital sheet materials, which are treated to run interchangeably on wet toner and dry toner-based digital press systems.

An alternative to polycarbonate stocks, hardcoated polyester, or PET, has a stronger hardcoat than similar polycarbonate options. PET is more durable than polycarbonate and is resistant to heat and chemical solvents. Masterpiece Revolution clear hardcoated PET products are optically clear, offer excellent outdoor and UV stability and are thermo-formable. These characteristics make Masterpiece Revolution Clear PET options suitable for industrial applications like touch panels and electronic overlays.  

Masterpiece Revolution digital sheets are compatible with both liquid toner and dry toner digital machines. These digital synthetics like PVC, styrene, wall graphic, clear polyester and synthetic papers from MGX can be used interchangeably with wet toner and dry toner digital presses. Compatible models include the Xerox iGen, Kodak Nexpress, Canon ImagePress, Konica Minolta Bizhub and other similar digital press technologies; Masterpiece Revolution products will be digital-ready for HP Indigo presses in the future.
