8 Mil Microporous Gloss Self-Adhesive Polypropylene provides the true photographic look and feel needed to reproduce advertising quality photo art onto an economical adhesive backed PP material used for POP displays, retail graphics, long-term indoor signs, and short-term outdoor signs. The bright-white, glossy, fast drying microporous surface is particularly good for reproducing detailed, vibrant color images with aqueous dye and pigmented inks. Prints produced with pigment inks are water-resistant. The durable 8 mil thickness provides good tear-resistance and easy handling.
The specially designed pressure-sensitive, solvent adhesive removes cleanly for up to 90 days and becomes permanent after 90 days.

RIP & Printer Media Settings
For the best and most consistent results, a profile should be created using an external color calibrator in conjunction with your RIP and color matching software. However, if these tools are not available, printers using dye ink should be set for the highest print quality and media selection should be “Photopaper”. When using UV inks, the “heavy weight coated” option should be selected. Ink coverage up to 300% is recommended.
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. Please consult with your ink manufacturer for light fastness data.
