Finishing/Post Processing |
Pressure-sensitive vinyl, like LexJet's Optically Clear Cast Gloss Laminate, can be applied to increase fade and abrasion resistance of the image. Before applying the laminate, allow the image to dry for 24 hours. Thermal laminates are not recommended. |
Color Matching |
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. If unable to make your own profile, use a photo paper profile. |
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. |

Handling Recommendations |
Due to the absorptive nature of the coating, you should avoid touching the coated surface. 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. This material is equipped with a binding core tape to ensure media stays affixed to the core. This eliminates issues of release from core during transit and printing, which can cause loading and walking issues. |
