Enquiry of types of foam board:

[Ryk]

Hi all. May I ask:
Are these items the same thing?

Paper foam board
Gator board
Compressed foam board
Foam board (Foamex)
Falcon board

i am no expert
the surface is different on these
some are paper, some plastic (?)
not all, i imagine printable in every way
we GENERALLY use paper foam board & print with our (MP31 ink) Mutoh VJ1617h

Harbor Sales > Products > Panels > Foam

I'd probably put these all the same category:
Compressed foam board
Foam board (Foamex)
Paper foam board
Gator board

This is a different animal:
Falcon board https://lairdplastics.com/test/falconboard/

They are not all the same thing, just different variations of a similar thing, in the sense that they're all substrates.

We use Ultraboard.... it's got the foam center, with polystyrene faces.
Or foamcore, witch is just paper faces, not as durable as the Ultraboard.
