Amazing REVLAR Waterproof Paper Application Update
Friday, 3 May 2013 09:20Back in November 2010, a speed limit sign was printed on Relyco’s REVLAR waterproof paper for use on a remote private road in Southern Maine (see the original story here). After three harsh New England winters, the sign still looks as good as new…see the comparison below and notice the paint coming off of the SLOW sign. This application showcases the amazing durability of the REVLAR synthetic paper. We’re often asked questions about toner adhesion and how long will the toner remain on the paper. Well, this phot0 tells it all. The speed limit sign was printed on REVLAR using a desktop color laser printer and it still looks as good as the day it was printed. Have an application for which you need the World’s toughest synthetic paper, talk to Relyco today about our REVLAR waterproof paper…888-777-7359 or email info@relyco.com.
This speed limit sign was printed on REVLAR Waterproof Paper and posted November 2010. Photo on the left was taken May 1, 2013 and the photo on the right was taken Nov 2010. Amazing durability!

“When choosing substrate solutions for their specific applications, our customers need the assurance that our vendor’s products will perform as expected in our bizhub PRESS digital presses,” said Dawn Nye, product marketing manager, production print for Konica Minolta. “We put the paper products through a battery of tests to ensure reliability and consistent image quality, so our customers know that we’re providing paper products that perform up to our high standards.”

“As a commercial print shop, we’ve used Konica Minolta bizhub PRESS color digital presses for years to provide all types of print service to our customers,” said Ron Barton, owner of Digital Ink Printing. “We’ve also been a Relyco partner for many years and have been an early adopter of many of their digital substrates. In particular, we have seen a huge demand for their REVLAR waterproof paper and DigiPOP packaging products.”
Konica Minolta’s Formalized Substrate Testing Process and Media Guide
Several factors, including increasingly higher production speeds, have necessitated closer inspection of substrates to assess their suitability for Konica Minolta bizhub PRESS digital presses. Papers must be well manufactured, run consistently, and generally meet the demands of the press from pick-up and registration through to toner transfer, fusing and exiting the press for post-processing steps. Konica Minolta’s approval process includes testing on feed, fusing, jamming, registration, slipping, curling, and scratching. Approved substrates are added to the new Media Guide, created for commercial printers as a trusted resource for a wide variety of substrates.
“Having our substrates approved by Konica Minolta is a great validation that our products flawlessly work on their bizhub PRESS digital production presses,” said Bruce Steinberg, senior vice president of sales and business development for Relyco. “We offer a lot of unique digital substrates such as waterproof paper, ready-to-run digital packaging, and more that our customers are demanding today. This certification provides the confidence that our products are of the highest quality and will perform to our customers’ expectations.”
