Liquid Ink = 4 times of dry ink. Assuming 25% solid content in liquid ink.
Printing Layer – Pet
Film Density – 1.4
Film Micron – 12
Film gsm – 16.8
Job Sample Ink gsm – 1.2
Printing Layer Quantity – 300 kg
Dry ink required = (ink gsm x printing Quantity)/printing Layer gsm
= (1.2 x 300) / 16.8
= 21.42 (dry ink)
Liquid Ink = 4 times x dry ink (solid content of liquid Ink 25%)
= 4 x 21.42 = 85.68 kg (Liquid ink)
Mylar is actually the name of a popular polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film from DuPont Teijin FilmsTM.
Mylar is technically BoPET (biaxially-oriented polyethylene terephthalate).
It has been a prominent film in a variety of applications across
– electronics
– food packaging
– industrial specialty
– cast & release
– graphics markets
Due to its balanced tensile properties, good adhesion, excellent moisture and chemical resistance, and ability to withstand temperatures from -100°F to 300ºF.
Mylar® polyester films are ideal products for high volume, dependable industrial performance, where lower cost initiatives must be met.
Density 1.4
Polyester film is a high-performance, crystal clear thermoplastic made from Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) resin.
In comparison with other common plastic films, PET film has high tensile strength, excellent dimensional stability, low moisture absorption, and good retention of physical properties over a fairly wide temperature range.
It also has superior UV resistance and excellent electrical properties, and good optical clarity. Because of its higher price relative to PVC, PE, and PP film, it is generally considered a specialty film.
PET Film – 150°C (302°F) and as cold as -70°C (-94°F)

Polyamide (PA), also known as Nylon, is a clear and printable thermoplastic that has a relatively high melting point, exceptional strength and toughness, and good oxygen barrier properties.
It is also scratch, puncture, and flex-crack resistant and does not dissolve or absorb grease, oil, and acidic food.
These properties make PA ideal for use in conventional and microwave cooking applications.
The two most common types are cast and biaxial oriented Nylon film. Biaxial oriented polyamide or BOPA film can be used for a wide variety of applications especially where high gas barrier properties are required. Because of its higher price relative to PVC, PE, and PP film, it is generally considered a specialty film.
