LexJet Introduces Printable Décor & Privacy Window Films
LexJet Décor & Privacy Window Films allow large-format print shops with low-solvent, solvent, and UV-curable printers to expand their product offering with current customers and tap into the profitable décor market.
The new SUV-compatible window film line includes LexJet Glacier Window Film, LexJet Rice Paper Window Film, and LexJet Velvet Window Film. Each film was specially-developed based on customer requests for a window imaging solution that can be used in a wide range of environments, from residential to high-end commercial, retail, and corporate décor.
"LexJet Décor & Privacy Window Films provide print shops with a product that typically yields higher profit margins and greater versatility in décor applications," says Jeff Leto, LexJet's product manager. "The films can be used as-is for simple privacy, or they can be printed."
The films allow light to pass through, but the texture of each provides privacy and a unique effect, from a three-dimensional stained glass look to a pebbled matte texture. Each film is available in 24 in. x 10 ft. and 48 in. x 40 ft. roll sizes.
"We used LexJet Rice Paper in a custom showcase home and it generated a great deal of interest from people touring the home," says Lance Licciardi, Licciardi Design, Sarasota, Fla. "I plan to use the printable privacy window films in future projects because they allow me to create a range of custom window effects without having to specify costly custom glass."
LexJet Glacier is a 17-mil textured film that's ideal for creating a stained glass effect. It has a deep, textured surface with smooth edges for a classic, historic look. LexJet Rice Paper is a 5-mil film that replicates traditional rice paper and brings it into the digital age. LexJet Velvet is a 6-mil film with a textured matte surface that creates a stunning and unique look for a variety of window applications.
The Rice Paper and Velvet Window Films are more conservative options that are excellent choices for corporate and retail environments, adding style and interest to any graphics or décor project.
LexJet Décor & Privacy Window Films are part of LexJet's Décor Line, which also includes fine art and photographic reproduction papers, fabric, wallcoverings, and wall mural media. Call a LexJet account specialist at 800-453-9538 for more information.

A Little-Known but Big-Time Tax Break
The government just made it a lot easier to purchase capital equipment this year, but the special tax breaks found in the new $152 billion Economic Stimulus Act won’t last long.
By Gina Mascio, LexJet CFO
You may have heard about the $152 billion Economic Stimulus Act that will provide up to $600 in rebates to individual taxpayers. What you may not know, since it’s most often buried deep in the story or not even mentioned in most press accounts, is the benefit the legislation brings to business, and yours in particular.

Signed into law in early February, the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008 features two key but largely under-reported provisions that benefit businesses that invest in capital equipment. |
The Economic Stimulus Act, which was signed into law in February, provides two key benefits to business owners who invest in capital equipment during 2008. The legislation encourages businesses to expand and create new jobs now, and your business is a prime beneficiary of this tax gift from the federal government.
Purchasing equipment, software, and tangible property in 2008 entitles your business to receive additional tax deductions. It is estimated that this legislation will save businesses approximately $50 billion in near-term taxes by virtue of a temporary change to the tax code. Following are the two under-reported and little-known (until now) provisions that apply to your business:
Section 179: Business owners who purchase capital equipment for use in their business may be able to deduct the total cost of the equipment in a single tax year, rather than depreciating it over a number of years.
