Print Information

Printing and Handling

  • Suitable for use on Solvent, Eco-Solvent, and Latex inkjet printers. Always perform a test print first.
  • Ensure that the correct profiles and heater settings are used.
  • Ensure that the material has reached room temperature and relative humidity of 50% before printing.
  • Do not handle the face film directly and ensure it is free from dust and static.

Over-laminating

  • Over-lamination is recommended to prevent abrasion, extend colorfastness, and also offer easier handling.
  • Allow the inks to cure before over-laminating, this is usually 24-48 hours. (Not applicable to HP Latex prints)
  • The matched laminate for is DAF Performance Polymeric Laminate. For all other laminates, the user should determine suitability.

Print Profiles

  • Suggested Media Setting: Use Custom Profile or select Generic Universal Self-Adhesive Vinyl. Depending on printing platform and RIP software, the suggested maximum ink load is 300%. Make sure that ink is dry when it reaches the take-up reel. An external dryer or heat lamp will accelerate drying.
