suitable uncoated materials, e.g. self adhesive vinyl and rigid boards, and
are also immediately usable in the outdoor-area without any special
surface-sealing. Due to the special ink qualities in conjunction with the
ultra sonic heating-system, a wide range of materials can be used. in addition, difficult materials such as wood, fleece,
cellulose, thin and not impregnated fabrics, can be printed with high quality

The 'Power Sol' range of large format media
which Regulus has launched successfully in 2005
will be replenished just in time for this years Paperworld
exhibition in Frankfurt, Germany. A true novelty is the backlit film for front-print applications

additional step of lamination redundant for most applications. For water
based ink-jet systems Regulus will show an artist
canvas with extraordinary properties. The material is based on 100% cotton
and works with all types of dye based inks as well as with pigmented inks.
The coating remains crack-free even under tension and helps to avoid early

17) 3P’s Studio Canvas wins DPI
Product of the Year Award
3P InkJet Textiles AG won the DPI Product-of-the-Year Competition
2005 in the Textile Products Category with Studio Canvas (IQ-IJ111). “We are
absolutely honored to win this DPI award. It confirms 3Ps comprehensive
competence and shows that 3P meets its own demand in high quality. Years of
research and fine tuning affect these quality standards,” said Thomas Pötz, director of sales and marketing. “We also would
like to highlight Ergosoft they did a great job
with their Poster Print RIP and the Mimaki’s JV22
with pigmented inks, because the quality level of prints is regulated by the
perfect interplay of coating, printer and software.” Studio Canvas combines
photo-realistic image quality with the traditional texture of art canvas. The
20.8 mil Studio Canvas produces stunningly vivid images with any printer
using dye or pigmented aqueous ink. Best used with pigmented inks to avoid
fading and conserve image clarity over a long period. The special acid-free
3P-coating offers genuine reproduction and unique UV-resistance, because the
micro-porous coating is free of optical whitener (fluorescent whitening
agents). Therefore the prints are very durable and lightfast. In addition
high flexibility and crack-resistance characterize Studio Canvas. The 65%
Polyester / 35% Cotton blend makes precise stretching possible without becoming
slacken over time. 3P InkJet Textiles AG recommends
it for fine art reproduction, digital photography and high-quality indoor
banners. Canvas is available in widths 17 to 72 inches. The roll length is 40
and 82.5 feet. Additional protection by varnishing enhances color intensity,
contrast and durability. 3P InkJet Textiles AG
recommends a system of two special varnishes for Portrait Canvas: Transparent
Polymer Varnish Matt or Gloss with UV Protector. The level of shine can be
changed by mixing the fixatives. These protective coats enhance the special
charisma of exclusive images, maximize color vividness and protect them for
generations against damage caused by dirt, UV radiation and mechanical
stress.

taken positive steps towards implementing a program of educational and
business support initiatives for the benefit of the international screen and
digital printing community, with the formation of the FESPA Projects
Committee. The Committee’s role is to manage all applications for finance
from FESPA’s Projects Fund, which is used to
support a variety of projects being undertaken by its Member Associations. In
setting up the Projects Fund, FESPA is demonstrating its ongoing commitment
to re-invest in the screen and digital print industry. The scope of this
investment has been enhanced by the outstanding success of FESPA’s exhibitions, most notably FESPA 2005 in Munich. Comprising representatives from
the FESPA Board and Member Associations, and steered by recently appointed
New Projects Manager Chris Smith, the Projects Committee will consider all
project applications submitted by Member Associations and evaluate each
project on its individual merits, taking into account its potential to
benefit both printers and suppliers. By establishing the Fund and Committee,
FESPA will now be able to support new initiatives and promote and develop
existing services currently provided by Associations to their members. The
Projects Committee has already received a wide range of submissions for
projects and several initiatives are currently under consideration, including
an e-learning course for screen printing; a computerized production
management tool capable of being used in screen, pad and digital printing;
and the establishment of a 24/7 on-line technical service for members of
FESPA Associations. Other plans include seminars, environmental initiatives,
moves towards the recommendation of industry standards and mini FESPA events.
