Synthetic Substrate Troubleshooting Guide

Problem: Static Buildup

Static is one of the most common issues when printing synthetic materials.

Recommended Actions

  • Increase humidity
  • Fan stock before loading
  • Reduce stack heights
  • Use anti-static equipment

Problem: Drying Issues

Synthetic substrates are non-absorbent, meaning inks remain on the surface longer.

Recommended Actions

  • Use appropriate ink systems
  • Allow longer cure times
  • Use YUPO Accel for offset workflows

Problem: Ink Adhesion

Use press-certified synthetics such as YUPO Blue Digital whenever possible.
