| Printer/Ink Compatibility |
Compatible all inkjet printers using latex, eco-solvent and solvent. Not recommended for UV-curable ink. |
| Software Settings |
Printer settings will vary between printer manufacturers. Recommended heater settings: Pre-heat 45° C, platen 50° C and post-heat 50° C have been found as a good place to start. |
| 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. |
| Finishing/Post Processing |
Pressure sensitive laminates, like LexJet Optically Clear Cast Gloss Laminate, is recommended to increase the fade resistance, improve the clarity by preventing the holes from being filled with dirt and improve the ease of installation. Before finishing, trimming and installing the graphic, allow the image to completely
evaporate and dry for a minimum of 24 hours to ensure the solvents are gone from the print. Failure to do so may facilitate solvent penetration resulting in vinyl degradation. The glass surface must be clean prior to installation. Do not use solvent or ammonia based glass cleaners. |
| 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. |
| Removability/Expected Life |
Removable for up to one year under normal exposure conditions from most common substrates. Beyond one year, the adhesive becomes permanent and durable up to seven years. Recommend testing for specific usage. |
| Optimal Print Environment |
70° F (21° C), 50% R.H |
