Please note: where Litho print is required, please request GT (guillotine trim) sheets when ordering

Printing Inks: Use inks for Polypropylene. If Priplak is used within a litho printed job, (e.g. as a cover) avoid litho inks with high mineral oil distillate as Priplak can be distorted/caused to curl. Vegatable/Soya based inks or similar can reduce the distortion. Check with ink supplier. It is also recommended any litho printed surface in contact with Priplak, as part of the finished job, be sealed by film lamination
