LexJet UV Curable Light Block Polyester (14 Mil) is a matte-finished, tear-resistant polyester film that can be used with UV-curable inks to produce photo-intense, rollable graphics for trade-show, POP, or retail displays, including graphics displayed in banner stands.
The coating on the matte surface is designed to produce brilliantly colored, sharply defined images while minimizing glare. The 100% opaque, light-blocking gray layer ensures that ambient light shining from behind a display stand won’t interfere with the beauty or readability of the graphics. The 14-mil gauge is thin enough for use in a roll-up display, but sufficiently rigid and curl-resistant to stay flat when unrolled. The film is also water- and scratch-resistant so no lamination is required. Just print, trim, and ship.

Finishing/Post Processing | This film does not require lamination. However, using a pressure-sensitive laminate in the LexJet Elite laminate line can be applied to increase the life expectancy and abrasion resistance of the image. |
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. Image longevity will be influenced by lighting source & temperature. Lamination is recommended when an image will be exposed to repeated moisture or physical handling or when prolonged product life (+1 year) is needed. |
