Answer: Teflon!
Yep, this makes perfect sense when you think about it. It might just be the only material you can’t print on directly in the exciting world of wide-format printing.
Why do I call it exciting?
Because today’s output devices can print on virtually any substrate, surface, or 3D object.
Some common substrates include:
- Paper and paperboard
- Canvas
- Foamcore
- Vinyl
- Plastic
- Wood
- Metal
- Glass
- Textiles/fabrics (natural and synthetic)
- Ceramic tiles
- Rocks
Although wide-format printing has been around for decades, it is really the digital printing aspect that is driving its recent growth.
Items can now be printed in short runs (even a single copy), which makes them economical to produce. They can also be customized or personalized, making them appealing for brand owners.
