Tear-proof, waterproof, and endlessly durable,
synthetic paper is now a common choice for menus, signage, outdoor labels, ID
cards, and various other applications. But here's the truth: not all prints on syntheticpaper look stunning. One must know the right way to print on this surface
to achieve premium prints. Without the right approach, the colours can look
flat, washed out, or inconsistent. Let's see how to get vivid, high impact
prints every single time and make your application stand out like never before.
Guide to Choose the Right Synthetic Paper
Step 1
Choose the Right Synthetic Paper
Not all synthetic papers are created equal. Some are optimized for
offset printing, others for digital presses, and some for screen printing.
Using the wrong type can limit colour vibrancy.
Look for:
- Ink-receptive
coating - ensures inks sit smoothly on the surface instead of sinking or
smudging.
- High whiteness rating - the
brighter the base, the more vivid the prints.
- Smooth
surface - reduces ink scatter for crisper edges and richer tones.
Step 2
Use the Correct Ink or Toner
This water-resistant printing paper is non-porous, meaning
standard inks can struggle to adhere. For vibrant colour, the ink must bond
perfectly to the surface.
Best matches:
- UV-curable
inks for large-format and label printing - instant curing, no smudge,
exceptional brightness.
- Solvent or eco-solvent inks for outdoor applications - weather-resistant and deeply saturated.
- HP Indigo or high-adhesion dry toner for digital presses - sharp and vivid.
Step 3
Calibrate Your Printer for Synthetic Paper
Even premium synthetic paper needs a proper printer setup.
Uncalibrated machines can cause under- or over-inking, resulting in dullness or
colour shift.
What to do:
- Select
the exact media profile in the print driver.
- Run a colour calibration, let
your printer "learn" the material's response.
- Adjust
ink limits to avoid pooling (a common problem).
Step 4
Control Your Environment
Colour output isn't just about the printer - it's also about where
you print.
- Temperature: Extreme
cold or heat can affect ink curing and adhesion. Keep your print room
stable.
- Humidity: Too
high, and inks may not set properly; too low, and static can cause feeding
issues.
- Handling: Avoid
touching the print surface before it's fully cured; fingerprints can dull
the finish.
Step 5
