| Software Settings |
The coating on this product is engineered for better than 300% ink coverage. A photo luster, satin or semi-gloss setting is the recommended starting point. However, we recommend a custom ICC profile for optimal results. Please refer to www.lexjet.com for starting-point ICC profiles for some printers. |
| Profiles |
For the best and most consistent results, a profile should be created using an external color calibrator in conjunction with your RIP and color matching software. |
| Light Fastness |
The fading time of inkjet ink is a direct result of the inks that you choose to use and the environment where the print is displayed. Contact the ink manufacturer for light fastness data. |
| Finishing/Post Processing |
LexJet always recommends backlit prints be laminated due to the rough nature of installation. Optimal dry time prior to lamination is 24 hours. This backlit is not water resistant with either dye or pigment inks. If water resistance is necessary an edge sealer such as 3M 3950 must be applied to the edge of the laminated print. |
| Optimal Print Environment |
59-86° F, 30-70% R.H |
| Handling Recommendations |
Due to the absorptive nature of the coating, you should avoid touching the coated surface of the film. It is always recommended that cotton gloves be used when handling inkjet coated materials. Rolls of LexJet film are supplied with the coated side facing out. |
| Ideal Storage Conditions |
70° F (21° C), 50% R.H. (a controlled environment is recommended); store vertically in original packaging. |
| Shelf Life |
1 year from the LexJet ship date when stored in proper conditions. |
