Abstract

A printing substrate is provided, wherein the printing substrate includes a top layer; a middle layer, wherein the middle layer is attached to the top layer, and wherein the middle layer further includes a material that is different than the material of the top layer; and a bottom layer, wherein the bottom layer is attached to the middle layer, and wherein the bottom layer further includes a material that is different than the material of the middle layer and a material that is the same as the material of the top layer; and wherein the printing substrate is adapted specifically for use with use with digital imaging systems such as large, flatbed digital printers and the like.

Claims (26)

1. A substrate for use with digital imaging systems, comprising:

(a) a top layer, wherein the top layer further includes:

(i) glossy paper having a weight of about 60 pounds;

(ii) low density polyethylene and binder having a thickness of about 0.7 mil;

(iii) 16-pt clay coated solid bleached sulphate paper; and

(iv) ethylene vinyl acetate having a thickness of about 1.25 mil; and

(b) a middle layer, wherein the middle layer further includes a rigid polystyrene core about 0.25 inches in thickness; and

(c) a bottom layer, wherein the bottom layer further includes:

(i) ethylene vinyl acetate having a thickness of about 1.25 mil;

(ii) 16-pt clay coated solid bleached sulphate paper;

(iii) low density polyethylene and binder having a thickness of about 0.7 mil; and

(iv) glossy paper having a weight of about 60 pounds.

2. The substrate of claim 1 , where in the digital imaging system further includes a flatbed digital printer.

3. A substrate for use with digital imaging systems, comprising:

(a) a top layer, wherein the top layer further includes:

(i) canvas;

(ii) low density polyethylene and binder having a thickness of about 0.75 mil;

(iii) 16-18 pt base paper; and

(iv) ethylene vinyl acetate having a thickness of about 1.25 mil; and

(b) a middle layer, wherein the middle layer further includes a rigid polystyrene core about 0.25 inches in thickness; and

(c) a bottom layer, wherein the bottom layer further includes:

(i) ethylene vinyl acetate having a thickness of about 1.25 mil;

(ii) 16-18 pt base paper;

(iii) low density polyethylene and binder having a thickness of about 0.75 mil; and

(iv) canvas.

4. The substrate of claim 3 , where in the digital imaging system further includes a flatbed digital printer.
