CMYUK has been appointed UK and Ireland distributor of various dye-sublimation papers from Beaver Paper. It will initially supply three products - ProTex Protection Tissue, TexPrint UT/92 and TexPrint UT/72 - and expects to increase the portfolio over time.
The 3.2m wide, 25gsm ProTex Protection Tissue is a high-yield, protective tissue made for dye-sublimation and rotary heat calenders. It is made from natural eucalyptus fibre and is recyclable. Its formaldehyde-free formulation prevents yellowing of white synthetic textiles. It is said to extend the life of the calender belt and its heat resistant properties prevent web tear outs.
TexPrint UT is a utility textile grade digital dye-sublimation print paper designed for cost-conscious, high volume textile printing environments. CMYUK will be supplying two weights of the this media - the 92gsm TexPrint UT/92, suitable for soft signage, décor and tradeshow exhibits, and 72gsm TexPrint UT/72 for soft signage, trade show exhibits, banners and blinds.
The papers are said to boast super lay-flatness that resists cockling even under heavier ink loads. A specially developed binder applied to the non-print side controls fiber-contamination of sticky-belt platens on high-speed digital textile printers.
This year marks Beaver Papers 40th year in business. To celebrate, it has unveiled new branding and released a number of new products. It has also developed a new interactive website to support its distributors.
