Substrate Options —‘Paper or Plastic?’

Static Electricity Warning

Under certain conditions, static electricity can transform most any plastic surface into a snarling, crackling enemy that attracts dirt, dust and debris. In the pressroom, sheets won't feed and ink won't lay down properly. To reduce static electricity, plastic printers routinely install static eliminators on their presses and equip their plants with temperature and humidity controls. Like most good commercial printers, Jet maintains temperatures between 70° F and 80° F, with humidity between 40 and 50 percent. It also feeds ionized air into the feeders on its presses to cut down on static.
