Abstract
Examples of a printable medium are disclosed herein. In one example, the printable medium includes an opaque substrate that is substantially free of polyvinyl chloride (PVC). The substrate includes a fabric core having I(x)/Iequal to or less than 0.005, wherein I(x) is an intensity of light remaining at a distance, x, where x is the distance that light travels through the substrate, and wherein Iis an initial intensity of light at x=0. The substrate further includes a discrete barrier layer disposed on the fabric core. The barrier layer includes a copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate having a polyethylene-to-vinyl acetate ratio ranging from about 20:1 to about 9:1. The printable medium further includes a tie layer coated on the discrete barrier layer, and an image receiving layer coated on the tie layer.
