Self-primed, printable formulations comprise:n A. A polyurethane binder, B. An absorptive pigment, C. A crosslinker, D. An ultraviolet (UV) absorber, E. A light stabilizer, and F. Solvent.n nThese formulations are coated to plastic substrates without the substrate first receiving a primer coating or other surface treatment to enhance print receptivity. These coatings provide a high performance, single layer, matte-finish, universal printable plastic media for use with a wide variety of printers and photocopiers. In one embodiment the single layer matte finish universal printable media is converted to a satin finish universal printable media by applying a gloss-promoting coating formulation over the single layer matte finish base layer. |
