Digital Coating FAQ's

Why should I purchase coated material when I can coat my own material in house?
Certified material is guaranteed by the manufacturer to perform to expectations. The material has been tested to maintain consistent performance throughout the entire printing process. Even though some plastics may be made of the same material, their properties can vary slightly enough to make a difference in performance. Buying certified material will insure you don’t have problems with your run.
What is the difference between Indigo presses, and can I run your material on any press?
Indigo presses are constantly evolving, but Transilwrap Indigo media is designed to run on older presses as well as the newer presses. The only limiting factor is thickness so make sure your press is compatible with the caliper of material you plan to use.
Can I used DUN-DIGTIAL™ media on both Indigo and iGen presses?
DUNMORE's new Indigo digital top coat can print successfully on the iGen press. We do however recommend a scale up trial to assure satisfaction. DUNMORE also has specialized coated products specifically designed for the iGen and NexPress printing platforms. Please Contact Us for any laser toner film media applications.
How should I store and handle DUN-DIGITAL™ media?
Above all keep your media in the bag and away from too much moisture at all times. In contrast it is advisable to try to keep the material in a cool and static-neutral environment when ever possible. Prior to loading sheets static eliminators are recommended to reduce bonding of sheets. Treat media like photo paper; protected from the elements as much as possible.
What is RIT Certification?
The Rochester Institute of Technology routinely certifies materials for use on a variety of digital presses. Included in this are the HP Indigo series and Kodak Nexpress. In the HP Certification process, RIT offers one, two and three star performance levels based upon meeting certain print performance requirements. All DUN-DIGITAL™ media offered by Transilwrap meet the 3 Star rating which is the highest performance standard in the certification tests. For more information on the test procedures, visit www.printlab.rit.edu

I have an Indigo 5500 with 13 x 19 sheet sizes. Do you offer the new sizes for this press?
Yes we do, contact Transilwrap for a selection of materials offered for this size sheet.
Why do I need slip sheets with some of the material?
Frequently used on clear PET and Polycarbonate materials, slip sheets provide better feed and allow the machine to properly read the material as it is printed.  It also protects the sheet during handling.
Do you offer materials coated on two sides for duplex printing?
Yes we do, please see our list of products offered.
