| Software Settings |
The micro porous coating on this product is engineered for 350% ink coverage. Most instant dry media settings are appropriate. However, we recommend that you try a few different settings to achieve optimum performance for your specific application. It’s recommended that you create a profile specific for this material. |
| 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 |
It is always recommended that a protective laminate be applied after printing. Always use pressure sensitive laminates (LexJet Elite UV, Elite Coex, or Elite Polycarbonate laminates are suggested). Hand applying laminates is not recommended. The print should dry for 24 hours before laminating. When mounting to substrates such as PVC, Acrylic, etc., a standard mounting adhesive is appropriate. |

For Printing: 72° F, 50% Relative Humidity; For End Use: -40° F - 176° F (-40° - 80° C) |
| 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. |
