Delivery Conditions
The surface of YUPO® is highly smooth and sheets may stick easily to each other. In addition, YUPO® is non-absorbent. It can therefore take time for the ink to set and problems with set-off can occur easily. In order to prevent set-off, please take note of the following points.

Use of a Spray Powder
  The objective of spray powder is to prevent sheets from sticking together and to allow them to take in oxygen. Therefore, rougher powders are more effective. In order not to damage the appearance of your printed materials, the use of the following sizes and quantities is recommended:


Particle Diameter 15-30µm
Amount Sprayed 20-50% more for coated paper
  • (i.e.: NIKKALYCO® Mini-Pack SL or AS160, Nikka Ltd., Tokyo JAPAN)
    In addition, when making multiple printings on the same paper, or doing laminating, please remove excess spray powder.

Pile-Board Insertion
  Ensure that you insert a pile board. The height of the pile board will depend on the pattern, but a height of less than 10 cm is appropriate.

Paper Output Fan
  Please adjust your printer so that the printed sheet of YUPO® gently falls on to the pile. In order to prevent off-set problems, set the sheet pressure air to zero, or as low as possible.

Side Jogger
  Set the side jogger so that it lightly touches the sheets of YUPO® and ensure that it does not hit it firmly.

Static Removal
  Static electricity can make sheets of YUPO® stack imperfectly or cause off-set. The best prevention method is to maintain high humidity of at least 50%. Ensure that the static remover is set to on. Use of an air ionizer is also effective.

Other Issues
  Until the ink has completely set, please make absolutely certain that you do not apply pressure or in any way disturb the YUPO®. If you must move printed sheets of YUPO® to make space, take care not to disturb the paper or cause it to fall over.
