Ask an Expert - Forum > Print on YUPO Medium

Our company is trying to print fabric information onto the YUPO Medium paper. Unfortunately the ink is not drying due to the type of printer and ink we are using. Can someone tell me what type of printer and ink will print on YUPO Medium?

As YUPO is a non-porous, synthetic paper, the inks/paints have to dry through oxidization. YUPO is not treated with an inkjet-receptive coating so you are unable to print with an inkjet printer. And you are not able to print using a laser printer due to the heat causing YUPO to melt. Having said that, you can print offset and silkscreen using special inks. More about that can be found here (https://yupousa.com/pdfs/YupoPrintSpecs.pdf). And some grades of YUPO are treated for UV and Indigo.
