Printing Tips

• Use a more viscous ink and apply less ink than normal.
• Use a higher resolution screen (65-line is acceptable, 85-line is optimal).
• Use lighter squeegee pressure than normal to prevent flooding of the holes with ink.

Inkjet printing on JetVue or ImageJetVue Exterior-mount Film
When using dye-based inks, in particular, an overlaminate or liquid clear coat is recommended. Outdoor graphics printed with aqueous pigmented inks may also require an overlaminate or clear coat depending on desired image life and the conditions under which the graphics are displayed.

Electrostatic transfer, thermal transfer, wide-format digital imaging
Due to the wide variety of transfer papers, toners, inks and other variables used with these printing methods, we recommend performing a test prior to actual printing.

In most cases using the same settings as those used for printing solid vinyl should yield satisfactory results.

Airbrushing
Spray at a 90-degree angle to avoid coating the interior side walls of the holes.

Note: When using a CLEAR FOCUS perforated vinyl film with the solid (unperforated) siliconized paper liner, which is glossier than the standard perforated liner, allow extra time for the inks to dry before handling the graphics.
