Printer/Ink Compatibility |
Compatible with all thermal and piezo inkjet printers using water based dye and pigment-based inks. |
Software Settings |
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. However, if these tools are not available, utilize the UCR (Under Color Removal) technique that replaces composite black (CMY) with the appropriate amount of black ink. To optimize print quality, printers should be set for the highest print quality and media selection should be "heavy coated". Ink coverage up to 350% is recommended. |
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. Please consult with your ink manufacturer for light fastness data. |
Finishing/Post Processing |
Pressure sensitive vinyl laminates, like LexJet Elite UV Vinyl, can be applied to increase the fade and abrasion resistance of the image. Before applying the laminate, allow the image to dry for 24 hours. Allow at least 2 hours of cure time prior to trimming. |
Optimal Service Environment |
For printing: 60° -80° F, 50% Relative Humidity. |
Handling Recommendations |
Due to the absorptive nature of the coating, you should avoid touching the coated surface. It's always recommended that cotton gloves be used when handling inkjet coated materials. Rolls of LexJet film are supplied with the coated side facing out. |
