IJ Technologies in the US have developed a "Black Diamond" High Gloss coating which they have applied to various media and the latest is Tyvek.
They say that the Gloss Tyvek is suitable for those sign printers looking for higher gloss, sharper resolution and greater range of colour than has previously been available with Tyvek media.For aqueous printers making signs on Tyvek material, the high gloss finish of Black Diamond Tyvek has the added bonus of excellent handling characteristics, rapid dry time and water resistance.
Black Diamond Gloss Tyvek is recyclable.
The Gloss Tyvek joins Black Diamond Gloss Canvas and Black Diamond Gloss Adhesive Back Vinyl as the third product to be coated with the Black Diamond formulation.
"Our goal was to supply the graphics arts market with a water resistant high gloss Tyvek media which could be printed on wide-format printers," said Liz Gould, president of IJ Technologies. "We see the glossy Black Diamond products filling a void in the aqueous printer market."
As far as we know there is no representation in the Australia and New Zealand region for IJ Technologies.
