February 14, 2017 — Lyndhurst, NJ — Hop Industries, supplier of the Hop-Syn synthetic paper, is pleased to announce a print campaign with swissQprint, manufacturer of large format UV printers. The print campaign is designed to demonstrate the flexibility of the various grades of Hop-Syn synthetic papers with the swissQprint wide format UV printers. The Hop-Syn grades used for this campaign are Hop-Syn BL, TO and XT.
