Printer/Ink Compatibility
Compatible with most low-solvent, solvent, and UV curable printers. Not recommended for HP or Seiko printers due to the inability to register clear films.
Finishing/Post Processing
Solvent inks have excellent water-resistance when used in conjunction with this film. If the film is laminated the print must dry for 24 hours to ensure that the solvents are gone from the print.
Insufficient dry time can cause color shift and affect the bond strength of the laminate adhesive
