YUPO IS AN ADVANCED PAPER KNOWN FOR ITS WATER RESISTANCE, BENDING STRENGTH AND TEAR RESISTANCE. ALTHOUGH YUPOAPPEARS TO BE EITHER PAPER OR FILM, BUT IN ACTUALITY IT IS A SYNTHETIC PAPER MADE FROM POLYPROPYLENE. IT WAS FIRST BORN IN 970 AND IT HAS CONTINUALLY EVOLVED TO TODAY BY MEETING THE DEMANDS OF GENERAL GRAPHICS, MAP, PACKAGING, LABELS, BAGS, SPECIALTY PAPER, AND COMMUNICATION PAPER. YUPO WITH PAPER LIKE FEEL AND ITS SUPERIOR COLOR REPRODUCTION WILL FURTHER EXPAND EVERY POSSIBILITY OF PAPER .

It is by design that the world leader in the manufacture of synthetic paper has evolved to create products that preserve our planets resources. We have instituted clean processes and continue to implement new programs to increase recycling initiatives for end users and manufacturers alike. These endeavors, principles and processes we establish as YUPOGreen. Under the YUPOGreen umbrella, we will continue to move forward to preserve our forests, protect our waters, and develop efficient products that will pave an ecologically sound path for our children and generations to come.
100% tree-free, conserving natural resources No ozone-threatening emissions result from our manufacturing processes Recognized for excellence in handling and discharge of wastewater 100% recyclable Proper recycling generates no sulfur, chlorine, nitrogen or dioxin gases Internal processes are reviewed at every level of our company to maximize environmental stewardship Very little water is used in the creation of YUPO YUPO products stay out of the waste stream longer Trim created during the manufacturing process is recycled and reintroduced in the productionof other YUPO products YUPO is free of toxins and heavy metals and contains no softening agents
As we move forward with this vibrant YUPO Green initiative, we encourage you to explore our ongoing endeavors to bring more efficient, eco-friendly products to the tree-free synthetic stage. We commit to the exploration of new programs that will increase consumer awareness and access to YUPOs recycling processes. As employees and as a corporation, we strive to live up to the standard we established with the creation of our logo - to find a harmonious balance between the sun, universe and humankind.

Pre-Press Handing
The top and bottom YUPO sheet which have been kept contact with the cardboard packing sheet of each pack should be discardred. Wrapped YUPO should be brought into press room at least one day before printing in order to aclimatise to the press room temperature and avoid moisture condensation.
Drying
As YUPO is not absorbent, drying will take longer than with paper. Typical drying times 1 color 6 8 hours 2 color 7 10 hours 4 color 10 16 hours
Printing Conditions
Feeder Unwrapped YUPO sheets should be fanned before stacking to ensure smooth feeding. Folding is prohibited. The stacking should not be loaded more than 5,000 sheets at one time. Abrasions and Marks The followings are recommended: To avoid sucker marks, minimize the suction pressure and/or cover the rubber part of the sucker with cloth tape. To avoid wheels and brush marks, move them away from the image area or cover them with either PP tape or cloth tape. Plates Pre-sensitized (PS) Plates are recommended. Press Setting Printing pressure should be maintained as same as natural pulp based papers. The blanket will sometimes show whitening which comes from the inorganic fillers in YUPO and normally has no effect on print quality. A blanket wash-up is necessary only when the build -up affects print quality.
You can reduce the paper dusting problem significantly by usingSUPERYUPO
Inks
Inks must be specially formulated for YUPO Synthetic Papers and consist of 100 % solids, contain less than 3 % mineral oil, and dry by oxidation. Major ink manufacturers have tested YUPO and most have a suitable ink. Please consult with your ink manufacturer.

Offset Printing
Sheet characteristics Can use ordinary inks. Extremely fast ink drying. Excellent dot reproduction and fine glossy finish. Specialized for one-sided printing. The side when opened (glossy side) is the printing side. Cautions See aboveSheet Offset Printing Tips for FPG grades for cautions regarding basic printing operation. Printing inks FRBUse standard inks. FRRChoose inks according to the ink coverage for the job. When printing with up to 400% ink coverage Use low solvent inks (inks for special papers, etc.)
When printing with up to 200% ink coverage Standard inks can be used. Use inks suited to your performance requirements for durability, etc. Key points Dampening water adjustments: Restrict dampening water as much as possible to the point just before the plates are affected by scumming. Do this particularly for the first cylinder. Inks that require caution Inks that set quickly High tack inks (especially in winter)
Screen Printing
Cautions for printing The same inks are used as for YUPO FPG, but be sure to consult your ink supplier first.
Offset Printing
Sheet characteristics Use YUPO formulated inks or synthetic paper inks. Ink drying is faster than FPG. Dot reproduction and dot gain characteristics are better than FPG. Excellent glossy finish. Cautions See avobe Sheet Offset Printing Tips for FPG grades for cautions regarding basic printing operations. See theULTRAYUPO (FEB) catalog for a summary of grades. Printing inks Use YUPO inks or synthetic paper inks. Drying times 100% ink coverage: 1 to 2 hours 200% ink coverage: 2 to 3 hours 300% ink coverage: 3 to 5 hours 400% ink coverage: 5 to 7 hours
Key points Dampening water adjustmentsRestrict dampening water as much as possible to the point just before the plates are affected by scumming. Do this particularly for the first cylinder. Caution about ink tack in cold seasons Lower the ink tack for cold inks. Amount of powderThis paper has improved setoff properties compared to FPG, but slightly more powder should be used than for coated papers. Delivery pile boardsSuitability is about the same or slightly better than for FPG. Two-sided printingPrint the side with the heaviest ink coverage first, then print the other side soon (within 24 hours) after drying.
Screen Printing
Cautions for printing The same inks are used as for YUPO FPG, but be sure to consult your ink supplier first.
Binding
Laminating
Emulsion adhesive of Vinyl Acetate type or EVA type. Solvent type adhesive or Reactive Adhesive.
Trimming
Guillotining
1. Always use a sharp blade. 3. Pile height of 15cm maximum is recommended. 2. Expel air from between the sheets. 4. For YUPO,keep the pile below 10cm.
1. 2. 3. 4.
Sharp drill should be used. The maximum thickness of the pile is recommended to be 25mm. The intervals should be taken longer for drill to cool down. Make sure to bleed the air out sufficiently before drilling.
Folding
1. YUPO is easily folded along the grain direction. 2. FPG95 is the most suitable grade for folding among YUPO grades. 3. Setting the Folding Machine. 1) Roll pressure should be set at the maximum. 2) Roll pressure should be set balanced evenly at both ends of a roll. 3) YUPO should be exactly fed at right angle.
Perforating
Perforation can run either with or across the grain, but its tearing characteristics will differ so adjustments to the blade is necessary. Across Grain DirectionBelow 0.5mm CUT2 3mm With Grain DirectionBelow 0.8 1.0mm CUT2 3mm

Disposing of YUPO
Post-press
Disposing and recycling
When disposing of YUPO as ordinary household waste, be sure to follow the applicable local regulations for disposing of plastics. When processing YUPO as office waste, be sure to process it as an industrial waste. When disposing of large amounts of YUPO , the following reuses are possible. Reuse as a solid fuel YUPO to be disposed of such as used pamphlets and the like can be reused as a resource for thermal energy as a recycled plastic fuel (RPF). The polypropylene resin used as a raw material for YUPO consists of carbon and hydrogen, so when incinerated with sufficient oxygen it becomes c a r b o n g a s C O 2 a n d w a t e r H 2O w i t h o u t producing any chlorine gases or nitrogen oxide. Reuse as a recycled resin Collected waste sheets and cutoffs can be reused as a raw material for recycled resin products such as flowerpots, seedling trays, and stakes.
