Laser Print Films

Laser films are polyester films used mostly for laser printers. A number of laser printer models use these polyester films that are coated on both sides. Laser films are thermally stabilized and are available in a variety of finishes including transparent, matte, and white opaque. To avoid any kind of shrinking or curling that might be caused due to the heat generated in the laser printers, they are pre-shunk. The pre-shrunk feature of these laser print films is an important feature that helps them withstand the heat generated in these printers.

Besides being coated, thermally stabilized and pre-shrunk, laser films also have a special coating which is intended at improving the toner adhesion when used with either black or color laser printers or photocopiers.

Types of Laser Print Films

Laser Print Films are available in a variety of types that are specifically made to suit different kinds of laser printer needs. Below mentioned are a few of the important types of laser print films.

Polifoil Laser Film - Transparent polyester film. The film is coated on both the sides. On one side they are coated with a layer that enhances toner adhesion and density allowing direct to plate exposure. Coated on the other side with an anti-static treatment for easy automatic feeding.

Polimat Laser Print Films - Best thermally stabilized matte polyester films for use with most models of laser printers. Coated on both sides with a matte layer that provides the best toner adhesion and anti-static properties. The coating is abrasion resistant and ensures uniform, high density toner adhesion even on large areas. Applications include direct plate exposure on offset and photopolymer plates, and creation of positive screens for screen printing.

Filmat laser - Matte polyester films for use with most models of laser printers. Coated on both sides with a matte layer that provides good toner adhesion and anti-static properties.

Econolaser - Non-thermally stabilized matte polyester film for black & white jobs. For use in laser printers that do not become excessively hot.

Laser film is widely used as a packaging film. Specific uses of this film include laser printer creation of debit, credit, identification, or any other temporary card or durable documentation. The film is also used on photocopier machines to create overhead transparencies.
