• Match the substrate to the inks/imaging
method.
– ClassicVue, SuperVue, ImageVue & PosterVue are uncoated vinyl films designed for solvent (most types, including eco-solvent and mild solvent), UV-curable, latex or other outdoor inks; thermal and electrostatic transfer; screen printing; and airbrushing. ReflectVue, our retroreflective film, is designed exclusively for solvent or latex inkjet printing. EconoVue is compatible with inkjet printing using solvent and eco-solvent inks; screen printing; thermal transfer; e-stat; and airbrushing. In the case of all products above, the clear PET or white PET liner is recommended for use with UV-curable printers (not the solid paper release liner).
– ImageJetVue & JetVue are inkjet-coated (top-coated) vinyl films designed for aqueous dye-based and pigmented inkjet printing.
• In the design of your window graphics, avoid the use of dark colors over a wide area. [Details]
• Use a large enough type font -- approx. 30 point or larger for ImageVue, ImageJetVue and PosterVue; approx. 50 point or larger for ClassicVue, SuperVue, JetVue, ReflectVue and EconoVue. [Details]
• Allow sufficient time for inks to dry before laminating or installing graphics. [Details]
• Use an optically clear overlaminate
that’s compatible with perforated window-graphics film and
suitable for the job and the surface (flat vs. curved) on which
the graphics will be installed. [Details]
• For optimum one-way visibility, the
lighting should be brighter on the graphics side than on
the black (non-imaged) side. [Details]
• Use mild soap and water -- NEVER a solvent-based glass cleaner, such as Windex®, to wash the glass surface prior to installing the graphics. [Details]
• Install the graphics on a glass surface whose temperature is between approx. 40° F (5° C) and 90° F (32° C). [Details]
