15 Mil Water-Resistant Econo Scrim Vinyl is a 15-mil scrim-reinforced vinyl with a white point that produces photo-realistic images on a durable, weather-resistant surface. This 15 mil banner is priced attractively for printing low or high volume production runs of an aqueous banner material that can be exposed to the weather. The super smooth, bright-white surface and heavy ink-saturation properties, ensure deep rich colors with the expanded gamut needed to produce great-looking banners every times. The proprietary, matte, ink receptive coating provides a high level of water and scratch resistance.
Compatible with all aqueous inkjet printing inks.

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.
Water Resistance
To obtain a high degree of water resistance, use only pigmented ink. Allow the print to dry for 24 hours before exposing to moisture. Lamination is not required. Ink saturation over 250% can affect the waterresistant properties and show ink bleed.
