Satin Matte Ink Jet Paper (#45772) and Gloss Ink Jet Paper (#45773) are both paired with an all-temperature adhesive, which offers versatility in application options, including cold temperature labeling. These papers excel at producing great color graphics and sharp text, Spinnaker Coating said, with wet-rub resistance and good ink adhesion.   

A film option for labeling durable goods, 5mm Matte White Ink Jet Polypropylene (#45696) is available with PDL-55, a general purpose permanent adhesive. It has a 12-month outdoor life, and is suitable for metal, plastics and other durable container applications, even with moisture present.  Application uses include: drum and barrel labels; pails, totes and chemical containers; outdoor ID labels; and horticultural, agricultural and farm labels. 

It is BS 5609 Part 2 and 3 certifiable (with the appropriate inks), and while designed for commercial water-based inkjet printing, it also accepts thermal transfer print for end-user variable information, such as serial numbers or dates. 

All three water-based inkjet constructions are available Trimless with a minimum of one roll 3in x 5,000ft.

‘As converters continue to invest in digital equipment, we know having the appropriate material is a key component to success,’ said Joel Ulrich, digital market manager at Spinnaker Coating. ‘These three stocks for water-based inkjet commercial presses offer converters reliable products for their digital printing portfolio.

‘Initial feedback from customers on these products has been positive. Digital press brands, including Colordyne, Trojan Color Systems and Primera, have produced commercial labels with high-quality results for digital press owners.’
