New Products 13 mil Fusion Polyester Cover Fusion Digital Paper introduces 13 mil Fusion Polyester Cover, a digital solution for durable menu and outdoor signage applications. Made in the USA with a proprietary manufacturing process, 13 mil Fusion Polyester Cover runs static free on high heat toner production digital equipment. This feature avoids the usual static electricity problems common with top coated digital polyester films. This product truly prints like paper, yet has the durability of a synthetic product. Print finishing processes are also just like paper in that it can be immediately run on the second side or jogged, stacked, punched, and cut directly after digitally printing. Another print finishing feature that makes 13 mil Fusion Polyester Cover unique in this category is that it is foldable. So not only is this a rigid, durable polyester product, but also when creased and boned provides a finished product with a layflat fold. MyPRINTResource.com/12078821 Double-Sided Wall Adhesive Drytac has added ReTac Duo, a clear double-sided wall adhesive, to its line of mounting adhesives. The new product has a 1 mil clear polyester carrier and features a permanent adhesive on one side and ReTac ultra removable adhesive on the other.

With ‘ReTac on the Back,’ graphics remain firmly in place and can be repositioned as needed without loss of adhesive strength during removal. Additionally, there is no adhesive residue left behind and no damage occurs to wall or window surfaces. ReTac Duo is available in widths up to 54 inches and is currently in stock for immediate shipment. MyPRINTResource.com/10005009 Psaligraphy (Paper Cutting) Knife Tool, Perforation Wheel and Braille Tool Esko has announced a new range of Kongsberg tools is available for customers. On top of the more than hundred high-quality cutting blades, router bits and accessories, some of the newest tools include a psaligraphy (paper cutting) knife tool, perforation wheel and braille tool. All three tools are available for usage on the Kongsberg XN, Kongsberg V and Kongsberg XL Series of digital finishing systems. Three examples of newly developed tools that extend Kongsberg capabilities are: §§The new Psaligraphy (or paper cutting) knife tool that cuts out the finest details in paper and folding carton, at a level not seen before. This is a perfect tool for adding creativity and value to greeting cards, promotional items or folding carton samples. §§The 60 mm Perforation wheel enabling users to create tear and crease-assist perforations in corrugated board up to 4 mm thick at a much higher speed than before. This tool is ideal for producing POP-materials and all kinds of packaging. Prior to this wheel becoming available, it took about 40 seconds to do 1 meter of a 3x3 perforation pattern (3 mm cut and 3 mm space). The new wheel only needs 2 seconds to do that, quite a time saving! §§The Braille tool, loaded with clear acrylic ‘Braille spheres’ that are inserted into small holes. These holes are milled with a special spindle to create raised dots that are readable with fingertips. The Braille tool will work on most rigid materials more than one mm thick and is used to produce signage requiring directions or inscriptions in braille.
