Finishing/Lamination
A pressure sensitivity vinyl laminate is recommended, to give surface protection from dirt and abrasion. Thermal
laminates should not be used. Before lamination, please allow image to dry for 24 hours.
Printer/Ink Compatibility
Ink saturation level on this product is 300% and heavy coated paper setting on most RIPs is appropriate.
Pigmented-based inks enhance both water and ultraviolet resistance levels. Dye base inks, while maintaining
excellent vibrancy, show a slightly lower ultraviolet resistance. Over saturation with dye based inks may result in
image degradation. Product can be printed on Encad/Kodak, Hewlett-Packard DesignJet (2xxx/3xxx/5xxx),
ColorSpan Displaymaker & Epson Stylus Pro (7xxx/9xxx), Mikami JV4 and Roland Hi-Fi Jet.
