We are now printing on DuPont™ Tyvek® Vivia! This material represents a sustainable solution for wide format printing—delivering a rich, velvety finish that’s easy to print, with excellent drapeability and durability. Resembling scrimless vinyl, yet more luxurious to the touch, DuPont™ Tyvek® Vivia combines the trusted performance of DuPont™ Tyvek® print media with a proprietary coating developed by DuPont to deliver superior print quality, drapeability and flexibility in wide format applications. Just as with traditional Tyvek®, Tyvek® Vivia can also be recycled at centers that recycle flexible high density polyethylene products—a meaningful advantage for today’s environmentally-sensitive printers.
DuPont™ Tyvek® Vivia has a soft, fabric-like drape with subtle substance that allows it to hang exceptionally well. In addition, it has low memory which helps resist creases, curls and wrinkles for an appearance that continues to look like new. It also has excellent UV inkjet and screen printability along with all the benefits of traditional Tyvek® print media. This unique balance of properties makes DuPont™ Tyvek® Vivia an excellent choice for most wide format applications.
Key Features:
- Recyclable.
- Soft, velvety finish.
- Low memory – resists creases, curls, and wrinkles.
