Stainless steel, aluminum, glass, ABS, polycarbonate, Plexiglas, automobile enamel and standard mounting boards such as Sintra, Gatorfoam and Foam-Core. The product is designed for use on smooth, flat surfaces and should not be applied over corrugations or rivets. Textured surfaces and wood tend to promote poor adhesion. Always pretest your specific substrate prior to actual application.

The coating on this product is engineered for better than 350% ink coverage. The Heavy Weight Coated setting in most RIPs is appropriate; however, we recommend a custom ICC profile for optimal results. Please refer to www.lexjet.com for ICC profiles for some printers.

To obtain a high degree of water resistance, use only pigmented ink. Allow the print to dry for 24 hours before exposing to moisture. Lamination is not required. Ink saturation over 350% can affect the water fast properties and show ink bleed. Dye-based inks will yield good color gamut, but bleeding may occur when the images gets wet. Over laminating dye-based ink will not eliminate image bleed, unless the material is completely sealed to a non-porous surface. Dirt and stains cannot be cleaned from the imaged surface and the surface can be damaged from excessive folding or creasing.

Removable for up to one year under normal exposure conditions from most common substrates. Beyond one year, the adhesive becomes permanent. Recommend testing for specific usage.

Use low tack application tapes. High tack tapes can cause slight coating removal. Application paper applied directly to the imaged surface may cause slight yellowing of the coating. American Biltrite Inc. paper and TransferRite cause the least amount of yellowing. 3M tapes have been found to increase the yellowing effect.

It is recommended that if water is used during the installation, use minimal amounts. All water must be squeegeed out from under the vinyl. If liquid soap is added to the water to increase the ease of installation, use only one drop per gallon of water. Soap must not contain moisturizers. Do not use heat guns to install vinyl. Material should not be stretched during installation. It is a calendered vinyl and it will shrink back to original size, which might cause edge lift or create gaps between panels.

For printing: 60° - 80° F, 50% Relative Humidity.

40° F

Due to the absorptive nature of the coating, you should avoid touching the coated surface of the paper. It?s always recommended that cotton gloves be used when handling ink jet coated materials. Rolls of LexJet film are supplied with the coated side facing out.
