Supported substrate families Substrate family Self-Adhesive Banner Textile Film Synthetic Paper Paper-Aqueous Paper-Solvent Description PVC films with adhesive on one side and a detachable liner. There are two main types classified by application purpose: calendered (for flat surfaces) and cast (for complex 3D curves). The film may have different finishes: white, transparent, reflective, or perforated. Examples: HP Air Release Adhesive Gloss Cast Vinyl, Avery MPI3000 (calendered), Avery MPI1005 (cast), 3M IJ-380 (cast) Usually a polyester mesh coated with PVC. There are also recyclable versions to cover the same applications (green banners). Banners have a wide range of grammage and can be grouped into frontlit, backlit, and block-out categories. Examples: HP Durable Frontlit Scrim Banner, Ultraflex Normandy Pro, Verseidag banners Textiles are usually made of polyester or cotton yarns. Some open textiles come with a removable liner to prevent the ink from passing through the substrate. Very stiff textiles (such as canvases) should preferably be loaded as "Low temp (incl. HP Photoreal)" substrate. The use of porous substrates without a liner is not recommended. Usually a polyester film, although there are other materials. Select this family setting for substrates that can resist temperatures over 95°C (200°F), otherwise load them as "Low temp (incl. HP Photoreal)" substrate. Example: Intelicoat SBL-7 Polyester Backlit Film Substrates manufactured using synthetic resins, mainly extruded from polypropylene (PP). They have characteristics similar to those of plastic film, but their appearance and properties are similar to regular paper made from wood pulp. Example: Ilford Omnijet Dry Glossy Portable Display Film Light paper-based (cellulose) substrates with a coating compatible with water-based inks, or offset paper. These substrates are not compatible with solvent inks. Weight is usually around 100 g/m². Paper-based (cellulose) substrates with a top coating compatible with solvent inks. Weight is usually between 120 and 200 g/m². Examples: HP Blue Back Billboard Paper, Intelicoat GPIOF140, blue back substrates 22 Chapter 4 Handle the substrate ENWW

Supported substrate families
Substrate family
Description
Self-Adhesive
PVC films with adhesive on one side and a detachable liner. There are two main types classified by
application purpose: calendered (for flat surfaces) and cast (for complex 3D curves). The film may
have different finishes: white, transparent, reflective, or perforated.
Examples: HP Air Release Adhesive Gloss Cast Vinyl
, Avery MPI3000 (calendered), Avery
MPI1005 (cast), 3M IJ-380 (cast)
Banner
Usually a polyester mesh coated with PVC. There are also recyclable versions to cover the same
applications (green banners). Banners have a wide range of grammage and can be grouped into
frontlit, backlit, and block-out categories.
Examples: HP Durable Frontlit Scrim Banner
, Ultraflex Normandy Pro, Verseidag banners
Textile
Textiles are usually made of polyester or cotton yarns. Some open textiles come with a removable
liner to prevent the ink from passing through the substrate. Very stiff textiles (such as canvases) should
preferably be loaded as “Low temp (incl. HP Photoreal)" substrate. The use of porous substrates
without a liner is not recommended.
Film
Usually a polyester film, although there are other materials. Select this family setting for substrates
that can resist temperatures over 95°C (200°F), otherwise load them as "Low temp (incl. HP
Photoreal)" substrate.
Example:
Intelicoat SBL-7 Polyester Backlit Film
Synthetic Paper
Substrates manufactured using synthetic resins, mainly extruded from polypropylene (PP). They have
characteristics similar to those of plastic film, but their appearance and properties are similar to
regular paper made from wood pulp.
Example:
Ilford Omnijet Dry Glossy Portable Display Film
Paper-Aqueous
Light paper-based (cellulose) substrates with a coating compatible with water-based inks, or offset
paper. These substrates are not compatible with solvent inks. Weight is usually around 100 g/m².
Paper-Solvent
Paper-based (cellulose) substrates with a top coating compatible with solvent inks. Weight is usually
between 120 and 200 g/m².
Examples: HP Blue Back Billboard Paper
, Intelicoat GPIOF140, blue back substrates
