DST HPI Paper

DST HPI Paper is a range of digitally printable coated paper liners for heat transfer printing onto garments. The liners have a proprietary DST release coating optimized for HP Indigo (HPI) presses, Series 2 (5000 Series) and Series 3 (7000 Series). Unlike standard release-coated paper, DST HPI Paper gives the lighter, more reliable release these presses need. It also works on DST-compatible printers from Ricoh, OKI and Xeikon.

Available in 100 gsm and 113 gsm, with 1-side or 2-side coating, in formats from SRA3 (320x460 mm and 328x457 mm) up to B2 (500x700 mm) and B1 (700x1000 mm). Under EU REACH, the coated paper liner is classed as an article, and REACH Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) are not intentional components of the product.

Key properties

• Optimized for HP Indigo: A proprietary DST surface coating designed for printing on HP Indigo Series 2 and Series 3 presses.
• Assured release: Gives the easier, lighter release that HP Indigo, Ricoh and OKI printers require, which standard release-coated paper cannot guarantee.
• Multi-printer compatibility: Works on DST-compatible printers from HP Indigo, Ricoh, OKI and Xeikon, whatever the liner size.
• Wide range of formats: Available from SRA3 up to XL (B2) and XXL (B1) formats.
• Extra stability option: The heavier 113 gsm paper gives extra stability and more stable guidance of the liner in the screen printer.
• 1-side or 2-side coating: Available with coating on one or both sides of the paper.
• Heat transfer printing: Designed for printing images that are transferred onto garments, with guidance from prepress to post-printing.
• Long shelf life: Stays stable for 3 years when stored at room temperature in its original sealed packaging in a dry place.

Recommended press settings for HP Indigo Series 2 and Series 3 are a starting point only, and settings should be checked for each new material or batch. Full press parameters and troubleshooting guidance are in the technical data sheet.
