How to Look After Your Chart That Is Printed on Synaps Paper?

Here is a list of my products that are printed on Synaps Paper

What is Synaps Paper?

Synaps is a synthetic paper of a new generation, based on a high-grade polyester substrate with a high-performance printable topcoat. It combines the physical qualities of a polyester film with the ‘look and feel’ of a luxury paper. learn more about this paper …

Why did I want to use synaps paper?

I have put so much importance into the visual exploration into reflexology with these charts and wanted reflexologists to be able to hand these chart to their clients so that they can explore reflexology without needing to know anything

Follow these guidelines below to ensure that your charts can be used for many years to come.

  1. *Warning* DO NOT Laminate these charts if you do you will melt the chart and it will be destroyed. I often get asked if your charts need laminating for protection. The answer is NO. These charts are printed on a very durable paper called Synaps, Synaps is a synthetic paper of a new generation, based on a high-grade polyester substrate with a high-performance printable topcoat. It combines the physical qualities of a polyester film with the ‘look and feel’ of a luxury paper. learn more about this paper …
  2. Keep these Charts safe & clean – One of the best things about these charts is that they are so visual, they need to be handed to clients for their exploration. Over time these charts may get a little dirty from the natural grease that is found on our hands so a clean might be in order. Also with the recent concern with the transmission of viruses, you might not want to hand these charts to your clients but the good news is that these charts can be cleaned, making them safe for handling. To clean these charts please use soap and warm water. See the video below to see how to do this.
  3. Storage – It is best to keep these charts standing upright or lying flat and do not like to be folded. Keep out of the direct sun. You want to store these charts the same way you would take care of your favorite book but these charts are even more durable than the book but if you treat them gently they will last just that much longer.

How to Look After Your Chart That Is Laminated?

Here is a list of my products that are Laminated.

What is Lamination?

Lamination is a plastic protective layer applied to both sides of the poster paper, we used a 3.0 mil Gloss Polyester Film With a 1/8″ border

Why did I want to use Lamination on Giant-sized charts?

To tell the truth, I did not want to use Lamination, I wanted to print it on Synaps paper because it is so amazing but Synaps paper does not come in larger sizes. Lamination adds good protection and the charts look great and since the Giant charts will most likely be hung on walls, they will not get touched and played with as much as the smaller charts so lamination was a good choice.

Follow these guidelines below to ensure that your charts can be used for many years to come.

How to Clean a chart that has been Laminated? – Simply use some warm water and a cloth to gently clean the chart.
