– Premium Tactile Feel:  You’ll notice it immediately.  Our proprietary topcoating delivers a rich, silky feel that conveys quality the moment the printed menu is picked up.

 – Exceptional Print Fidelity:  Just look at the picture of the sample and you see crisp, clean images with outstanding clarity.  The combination of our proprietary topcoating and 100% blockout construction eliminates show-through that can distort images.

 – Outstanding Print Durability:  Designed for real-world use, our proprietary topcoating surface provides superior ink adhesion for HP Indigo inks and stands up to most tough cleaners, alcohol and stains.

– Layflat Folding Performance:  Unlike most films with excessive memory, 8.4 mil Fusion Blockout Polypropylene folds cleanly and lays flat when using a die-struck process, as shown in the sample menu.

 – Competitive Pricing:  8.4 mil Fusion Blockout Polypropylene is co-extruded film that delivers dimensional stability while benefiting from a cost-effective manufacturing process.

 – Made in the USA:  8.4 mil Fusion Blockout Polypropylene is 100% manufactured in the USA.  If you are looking for a product where the film, topcoating, and production are all Made in America, here’s your winner.

Our proprietary topcoatings are what differentiate Fusion Digital Paper products from the competition.  Developed by an experienced team of chemists and validated through extensive testing and print trials, our topcoatings maximize print fidelity, color vibrancy, and image durability, while minimizing dry time.  8.4 mil Fusion Blockout Polypropylene was 1-shot certified by HP certification # RI7500-24-7377.

8.4 mil Fusion Blockout Polypropylene is made in 60” wide rolls for UV inkjet and latex printing.  For sheet fed HP Indigo presses, we stock popular 12”x18” and 13”x19” sizes, with B2 size 19.7”x27.8” available for reasonable minimums.  Whether you’re looking to produce sheet fed menus on your HP Indigo press, or need 100% opaque banners or two-sided window signage printed on your wide format equipment, 8.4 mil Fusion Blockout Polypropylene delivers versatility without compromise.

At Fusion Digital Paper we’re focused on better.  Better products, better productivity, and better solutions.

The post Use Your HP Indigo Printer For Menus And More With 8.4 Fusion Blockout Polypropylene first appeared on Fusion Digital Paper.

Pictured below is a great two sided printed sample of menus on 11 mil Fusion Rigid Polyester.  Digitally printed on a production toner press, this printed sample demonstrates nicely the features of our product.  As you can see, demanding graphics are to be embraced and not feared due to a smooth printing surface that yields outstanding image fidelity and toner adhesion. When quality and durability matter, 11 mil Fusion Rigid Polyester is the polyester printing substrate for the job.

11 mil Fusion Rigid Polyester is extremely durable because it is a true solid core film, not a cavitated film that has air pockets in the film to make it cheaper. This makes our product preferable to other polyester films, PVC and vinyl products. We believe there isn’t a more durable synthetic substrate on the market today.  Both on press and in the field 11 mil Fusion Rigid Polyester is a “top of the class” performer.

Our proprietary scratch and scuff resistant top coating has a winning track record for 15 plus years and provides a great toner receptive surface that yields beautiful print fidelity.  Our 11 mil Fusion Rigid Polyester is a tear resistant, waterproof substrate at its finest. It is resistant to harsh conditions and environmental exposure, including many cleaning liquids, alcohol, oil and grease. As such, it is the perfect synthetic substrate for all your durable outdoor needs.

All Fusion Digital Paper products are made at the Printable Fabric Solutions facility of Worthen Industries in Grand Rapids, MI.  Our chemists develop, test and commercialize our top coatings, and our proprietary “Patriot” coater gives us the unique ability to coat fabrics, films and many other substrates.  It’s all manufactured at home, in the heartland of America.

At Fusion Digital Paper we’re focused on better.  Better products, better productivity, and better solutions.

The post Promote With Confidence – Use 11 mil Fusion Rigid Polyester for Durable Outdoor Signage, Food and Beverage Menus, and More first appeared on Fusion Digital Paper.

During this time, we listened to our customers and about ten years ago we introduced our 13 mil Fusion Polyester Cover as a complement to our lighter Fusion Soft Polyester calipers and a perfect choice for durable menu paper. 

Take a look at the sample pictured below of our 13 mil Fusion Polyester Cover.  This rugged sheet, made with our proprietary manufacturing process, runs STATIC FREE on production toner digital presses just like our Fusion Soft Polyester lineup does.

Printers who have run 13 mil Fusion Polyester Cover digitally are amazed and relieved to not have to deal with the usual static electricity problems common with top coated polyester films. You truly get a hybrid product that prints like paper, yet has the durability of a polyester product. So print finishing processes act the same as they do with paper in that you can immediately run the second side or jog, stack, punch, round corner and cut immediately after printing.

Try 13 mil Fusion Polyester Cover and enjoy these benefits:

STATIC FREE Runnability – Whether on your digital press, or in the print finishing department, it can’t be overstated how nice it is to work with a product that’s static free.

New Smoother Print Surface – Our re-engineered product has a smoother surface for premium image fidelity and toner adhesion.

Stain Resistant Surface – Fusion 13 mil Polyester Cover is very stain resistant.  Usually if you catch most spills quickly and wash with mild soap and water it cleans up like new.

13 mil Fusion Polyester Cover – This award-winning product is a great alternative for those looking for a heavy cover stock with some stiffness and snap, but would love all the Fusion Soft Polyester features listed above.  It’s the restaurant owner’s choice for menu applications!

Pictured below is a printed sample of one of our most popular and versatile products…Fusion Woven Fabric Repositionable.

Here’s why Fusion Woven Fabric Repositionable should be your choice for tabletop marketing applications:

– Fusion Woven Fabric Repositionable is durable. The face stock is a super tough, woven polyester fabric that is water, tear and UV resistant. It can handle both your indoor or outdoor applications. It won’t stretch, yellow, get brittle and crack, or melt in your fuser unit like vinyl products can.

– Fusion Woven Fabric Repositionable is conformable. The polyester fabric face stock is conformable which means you can put it on textured walls and it takes the shape of most surfaces giving you 100% touch points for better adhesion. It also works great on curved surfaces, around corners, and even painted concrete block walls.

– Fusion Woven Fabric Repositionable prints beautifully. Our proprietary top coatings, developed by our Worthen Industries chemists, allow us to offer Fusion Woven Fabric Repositionable for the full range of digital printers. The sample pictured above demonstrates our top coating for production toner presses, but we also have coatings for HP Indigo and aqueous inkjet. In roll format we have top coatings for eco sol and solvent inks, UV and latex inks, and aqueous inkjet. Fusion Woven Fabric Repositionable is also available with a split back liner for high heat toner printing.

– Fusion Woven Fabric Repositionable has a great repositionable adhesive. Our repositionable adhesive will stick to approved surfaces such as painted walls, wood cabinets, glass, metal, laptops, cellphone cases and more. It’s also repositionable and peels off cleanly and can be reapplied again and again. It’s like a magnet, but better, because you’re not limited to just metal surfaces.

– Fusion Woven Fabric Repositionable runs great. Fusion Woven Fabric Repositionable features a 92# polycoated lay flat liner. This well-constructed product will lay flat for excellent runnability on your digital production equipment.

We have had success with Fusion Woven Fabric Repositionable for restaurant solutions. Whether it’s wall graphics to market upcoming entertainment or sporting events, or tabletop and bar marketing for dinner and drink specials, Fusion Woven Fabric Repositionable has proven to be a durable and versatile product. Please give us a call to discuss your application opportunities.

At Fusion Digital Paper we’re focused on better. Better products, better productivity, and better solutions.

The post Tabletop Marketing Made Easy With Fusion Woven Fabric Repositionable first appeared on Fusion Digital Paper.

Due to the harsh weather conditions, SLTC needed a weatherproof paper for their field manuals that would keep going strong regardless of the weather. Because of its excellent durability properties, including being waterproof and tear resistant, SLTC chose Fusion 7.5 mil Soft Polyester for their field manuals. Jared Anders, SLTC’s marketing director, was searching for a durable, waterproof, tear resistant paper to print the field manual on and found Fusion 7.5 mil Soft Polyester to be “a really great product that we’ve been absolutely amazed by.”

The field manuals, which illustrate for the student linemen various schematics for how to build out different wiring projects, are 15 pages long and bound in one corner by a ring inserted through a hole punched into the tear resistant and waterproof paper. This binding method allows the pages to be folded over completely, which helps ensure there is less of a chance of the field manual being dropped by the lineworker.

Because of the special top coating designed for toner printing and also the static free properties of Fusion 7.5 mil Soft Polyester, these field manuals can be easily printed in house by SLTC. Anders stated, “We print 250 copies on our Canon copier for each training class, and before using Fusion Soft Polyester some of the manuals didn’t even make it to the end of the course. With Fusion 7.5 mil Soft Polyester we haven’t had to replace a single copy.” Anders continued by saying, “The Fusion 7.5 mil Soft Polyester pages fold over well and have never torn.”

Al Grant, Director of Sales, Marketing and Distribution for Fusion Digital Paper® added “the static free runnability of Fusion Soft Polyester cannot be overstated. Most synthetic end use applications require print finishing, and having a sheet that runs static free allows you to jog, stack, fold, punch or convert via any other process just like paper. This is in stark contrast to all competitive top coated polyester films, where static is an inherent issue and causes a struggle both during printing and in the bindery.” 

Companies like SLTC (www.lineworker.com) choose Fusion Digital Paper® because it has been the premier digital synthetic substrate manufacturer in the USA for a decade. Fusion Digital Paper® has the most diverse array of substrates in the industry which provides solutions for a variety of demanding end use applications that need to be digitally printed.

With your help it was another great year for Fusion Digital Paper. 

From the great products we have to service sheetfed production toner, HP Indigo, and inkjet equipment to our complementary wide format roll products, Fusion Digital Paper has the most diverse substrate offering in the digital synthetic category.

It allows us to continue to help customers get the most from their digital equipment investment, earn new business, and find niche market opportunities. Year after year, it is continually rewarding to hear about all the different end use applications customers have found for our substrates.

To kick start the new year, please give us a call to discuss your digital synthetic business and ways in which we can work together in 2019 to grow both our businesses.

Two NEW products we’re currently commercializing are 13×19 Fusion Peel N Stick Photo Pro which is gaining traction with professional and amateur photographers with high end aqueous inkjet printers who want to create beautiful wall photographs, and 8.5×11 6-up Fusion Die Cut Name Badge which prints on both desktop inkjet and laser printers for easy-to-produce pressure sensitive name badges.

All Fusion Digital Paper products are manufactured in the USA. Three years ago, we made a major expansion to our Midwest manufacturing facility.  This expansion, both in building size and new equipment – especially our massive Patriot coater, has positioned Fusion Digital Paper to continue as the digital synthetic substrate leader for years to come.

In closing, we wish you and your family a happy holiday season! We appreciate your support and look forward to helping you capitalize on new opportunities in the upcoming year.

The post Thank You For 2018 first appeared on Fusion Digital Paper.

The customer loves it because: 

• It’s waterproof and tear resistant so they don’t have numerous menus destroyed daily
• It’s got a unique velvety feel, and although it is lightweight, it still has good body compared to lightweight polyester films or laminates
• It’s stain resistant when spills are addressed quickly
• It’s inexpensive and provides a great marketing medium for seasonal or special event promotions

The printer loves it because: 

• It yields crisp, vivid images
• It has static free runnability on toner digital equipment and during print finishing
• It is waterproof and tear resistant so you can avoid the laminating step and cost
• It folds great unlike polyester film and laminated products
• It’s budget friendly and thus a great solution for numerous end uses

Imagine the possible applications for 7.5 mil Fusion Soft Polyester. Restaurant, bar and brew pub food, dessert, wine or drink menus. Folded or tri-folded brochures for hospitals, medical centers, or lawn and garden equipment manufacturers. All types of outdoor recreational pamphlets.  Boating and aircraft instruction manuals. Oil and gas industry weatherproof durable materials that will be used in the field. And the list just keeps growing.  The simple fact is that 7.5 mil Fusion Soft Polyester is an easy sell if you focus on the right end user applications.

If you’re tired of doing the day-to-day battles with super competitive commodity projects, Fusion Digital Paper offers you some exciting substrate solutions that both take advantage of your digital capabilities and help you grow new business and market segments.

Having products like Fusion Digital Paper allows the versatility of your digital equipment to shine.

Pictured to the left is a wine label printed on Fusion Digital Name Badge that we believe is a perfect example of what you can produce on your digital equipment.

This is due in large part to our unique adhesive, which is an incredible apparel adhesive that adheres great to clothing apparel all day and yet peels off cleanly when your event is over. However, when you apply this adhesive to surfaces such as glass, it is a permanent adhesive which makes it outstanding for wine and beverage labeling applications.

The other feature that makes Fusion Digital Name Badge excellent for premium beverage label applications is the satin acetate face stock which is both rich to the touch and gives an appearance that exudes quality. The fabric face stock has a beautiful pearlescent sheen to it.  This helps your beverage stand out while it sits on a crowded shelf among other products.

Finally, take a look at the outstanding print fidelity you can achieve with the pictured sample of Fusion Digital Name Badge. Our proprietary top coating is the finishing touch that positions our product at the top of both the premium name badge and backstage pass market in  addition to other applications this product is suited for like the wine and beverage label market.

One of the most enjoyable parts of my job is working with customers on new opportunities they have because Fusion Digital Paper’s comprehensive array of substrates usually allows us to provide a creative solution for them that matches the right Fusion substrate to their application.

We have a saying here at Fusion that “you’re only limited by your imagination,” and this Fusion Digital Name Badge “wine label” application is a perfect example of this.

At Fusion Digital Paper we’re focused on better.  Better products, better productivity, and better solutions.
