MagnePress™ printable magnetic paper in SRA3, SRA3+ and B2
Print directly onto a lightweight, pre-magnetised sheet for promotional magnets, photo products, direct mail, retail graphics and personalised applications. MagnePress is designed for HP Indigo, offset and selected dry-toner printing systems.
Print, Finish, Deliver
MagnePress™ removes an extra production step from printed magnet jobs. The material arrives already magnetised, so sheets leave the press ready for cutting, finishing and conversion. There is no need to laminate a printed image onto a separate magnetic base or magnetise the material after printing.

Printing compatibility
MagnePress™ is developed for professional sheetfed print production. Compatibility depends on the exact machine, feeder, transport path, temperature settings and configuration.
- HP Indigo: suitable MagnePress™ grades are designed for sheetfed HP Indigo workflows.
- Dry toner: selected Ricoh Pro, Konica Minolta, Xerox/Fuji Xerox and comparable systems may be suitable after testing.
- Offset: suitable for compatible sheetfed offset workflows, including commercial print applications.
- Test before production: Pre-magnetised media behaves differently from ordinary paper. Always confirm the exact press model and run a controlled test before accepting a commercial job or publishing a press-compatibility claim.
From direct mail to photo gifts
A printed magnet remains visible after an ordinary leaflet, postcard or packaging insert may have been discarded. MagnePress™ supports products designed to be kept, displayed and updated.
- Personalised photo magnets and gift sets
- Calendars, schedules and reminder cards
- Coupons, takeaway menus and service information
- Direct-mail pieces and campaign inserts
- Retail price cards, shelf messages and temporary POS graphics
- Safety instructions, maintenance reminders and equipment labels
- Event promotions, membership cards and branded giveaways
Flexible finishing for creative products
MagnePress™ can support a broad range of finishing and converting processes. Depending on the chosen grade and validated workflow, the material can be cut, die-cut, perforated, folded, glued, stitched or foil-stamped. This gives printers freedom to develop products beyond a standard rectangular refrigerator magnet.
Current product construction
The currently published MagnePress™ construction uses coated white art paper over a thin magnetic layer with a black anti-rust reverse.

Frequently Asked Questions ?
What is MagnePress™?
MagnePress™ is printable, pre-magnetised magnetic paper for professional sheetfed print production. It combines a printable white paper surface with a thin magnetic layer.
Which MagnePress™ formats are available?
The range is available in SRA3, SRA3+ and B2 formats. Ask Digital Magnetics for the exact sheet dimensions, grain direction and pack quantity for the grade you need.
Does MagnePress™ need to be magnetised after printing?
No. MagnePress™ is supplied pre-magnetised, removing the need for a separate post-print magnetisation process.
Can MagnePress™ be printed on HP Indigo?
MagnePress™ includes grades intended for compatible sheetfed HP Indigo workflows. Confirm the exact press model and request a test pack before production.
Can I print MagnePress™ on a dry-toner press?
Selected dry-toner presses may be suitable. Compatibility varies because magnetic media can interact with ferrous components, sensors, paper paths and fusing conditions. A controlled press test is required.
Can MagnePress™ be offset printed?
Yes, suitable grades are designed for compatible sheetfed offset production.
How can MagnePress™ be finished?
Depending on the grade and validated workflow, MagnePress™ can be die-cut, perforated, folded, glued, stitched or foil-stamped.
Where will MagnePress™ adhere?
MagnePress™ adheres to suitable smooth iron and steel-based surfaces. Holding performance depends on the surface, coating, contact area and final product construction.
Can I request samples or technical support?
Yes. Send Digital Magnetics your press model, print technology, required format and application to request a sample and test guidance.
