| Printer/Ink Compatibility |
Compatible with all inkjet printers using eco-solvent, solvent and UV-curable ink. This product is NOT compatible with latex printing technology. |
| Software Settings |
Optimized printer settings will vary from printer manufacturers. To optimize print quality, 720 dpi will offer the best results. Recommended heater settings of 104° to 122° F (40° - 50° C) for both pre and post heaters. These recommendations have been found to be a good place to start. |
| Color Matching |
For 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 |
Solvent inks have excellent water-resistance when used in conjunction with this film. For some applications, such as retractable banner stands, this film may not need to be laminated. If the film is laminated, the print must dry for 24 hours to ensure that the solvents are gone from the print. Insufficient dry time can cause color shift and affect the bond strength of the laminate adhesive. |
| Optimal Service Environment |
For printing: 50° ;-86° F, 30-70% Relative Humidity |
| 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 |
50° -86° F, 30-70% R.H. (a controlled environment is recommended); stored vertically in original packaging. |
| Shelf Life |
1 year from the LexJet ship date when stored in proper conditions. |
