Printing Tyvek
« on: April 25, 2017, 05:13:11 PM »
Has anyone tried printing on Tyvek? And if so what kinds of ink would you recommend and how well does it adhere? Thanks, LarryK

Not in 40 years, and back then I think that it was one of these solvent based inks (UV hadn't really bloomed yet) I didn't actually run them, but they were doing it in the shop that I was cleaning screens and running camera.

interestingly, it was for Bus Destinations rolls. Before the digital signs, busses had a roll with the different places printed and the roll was cranked until the right one was showing.

My shop prints on Tyvek envelopes.  It is just standard offset ink though.  This probably doesnt help at all.

  In a previous life, I think I printed it with lacquer. NazDar will tell you though. It
is certainly a solvent ink of some sort for screen printing.
