Screen, UV Offset & UV Inkjet Printable

What are screen, UV offset and UV inkjet printable films used for?

Screen, UV offset, and UV inkjet printable films are widely used for point-of-sale (POS), signage, display, packaging and labels, offering durable and high-quality print results. They come in various finishes to suit different applications: Including Priplak backlit, designed for illuminated signage and lightbox displays, and Priplak Cristal+ clear, which provides a clear gloss finish ideal for promotional graphics and protective overlays.

What is the difference between screen printing and UV inkjet printing?

Screen printing applies ink through a mesh stencil, perfect for bold, opaque designs. UV inkjet printing delivers and cures ink in a single pass with UV light, providing faster turnaround and precise detail. Versatile materials like YUPO FEB work with both techniques, offering strong print quality plus water and tear resistance for indoor or temporary outdoor applications.

How does opacity affect print quality in synthetic films?

Opacity determines how much light passes through a material, directly impacting the clarity and vibrancy of printed graphics. High-opacity films like Exten Prime-Ex opaque and Priplak Izilyss opaque are ideal for double-sided printing, preventing show-through and ensuring designs remain vivid and consistent on both sides.

Can screen, UV offset & UV inkjet printable films be recycled?

Yes, many screen and UV printable films have recyclable or recycled-content options. For example, Mondo recycled PET-GAG contains 85% post-consumer waste while maintaining excellent print performance. Priplak R30 is made from post-industrial waste, collected through a dedicated buy-back scheme to support a circular economy.
