R Series vs Standard Latex 365 / 570: media compatibility
Same HP latex chemistry but with white ink, primer and overcoat clear capabilities. Films must tolerate the heated zones (110 °C). Specifically for the R Series: when printing on flexible roll media, ink density and pass guidance match the Latex 365/570. When printing on rigid sheets, our films can be supplied pre-cut to standard sheet sizes.
