Q: What type of projects work best with YUPOBlue and the Indigo Printer?

This is increasingly important in one-to-one marketing. Its faster drying time gives you an edge when deadlines are tight and its waterproof attributes are perfect for menus, outdoor materials, direct mail, brochures and so much more.

Q: What weights of YUPOBlue Synthetic are available?

Our official launch is in June 2008., and we will offer YUPOBlue in three weights of 12" x 18" sheets - a 78# 5.9 mil cover and a 74# 9.9 mil cover. Sample packs are available now.

In addition to all of YUPO's renowned attributes - its brightness, waterproof uses and tear-resistance, YUPOBlue makes it possible to do short runs and customized pieces quickly and easily.

Q: Will HP Indigo inks run or smear on YUPOBlue?

No, because the ink actually adheres to YUPO's surface, there is little to no smear, chipping or scratching.
