175 micron Backlit Film 12
Description
A versatile polyester film specifically coated to provide excellent image quality with rich deep colours
and superior saturation and contrast. This polyester-based material is dimensionally stable with heat
generated in a light box and ideal for all backlit applications, indoors and out. Image Details are
sharp, and image clarity is excellent. Small text will not "break-up" or become fuzzy. Images will not
"wash-out" when viewed under fixture lights, or seem too dark when lights are turned off.
Applications
Excellent for all displays with some degree of back illumination, artificial or natural, to boost display
impact: Lobby signs, parking garage signage, transit shelters, airport fixtures, elevator displays,
retail promotion, shopping centre directories, subway plans, kiosks, window display units, menu
fixtures, retail/supermarket aisle signs, and convenience store signage.

Operating Instructions
• Store in a cool, dry environment, free from direct sunlight, within temperatures of 10-35
o
C and
non-condensing relative humidity of 30-70%. Store the product in its original carton and
wrapper to protect from dust and moisture. Shelf life is 2 years if kept in original packaging.
• Ensure that roll ends are protected and that the edges of the media are not damaged. If the
media edges are not flat this can result in damage to the printer.
• Keep the image surface dry and free of grease, oil, silicones and dirt. It is recommended that
cotton gloves be used for handling to avoid fingerprints.
• Use within the temperature range 18-30˚C and relative humidity of 40-60%.
• For use in either 360 dpi or 360x720dpi print modes. Ensure the appropriate colour profile and
resolution setting is used when imaging a file. If an image must be printed in 360x720dpi print
modes, the digital file must be sent to the RIP twice (once using 360dpi settings, and again using
720 dpi settings). The profile settings MUST match the printer setting (i.e. DO NOT print an
image with 720dpi printer settings if the 360dpi colour profile was used, and vice versa. Print 4-
colour to achieve maximum colour densities for illuminated display without over-saturating with
ink. Ensure the appropriate colour profile and resolution setting is used.
• For colour critical images, add a blank sheet of white paper to the back of the print and
encapsulate. Ensure that there is at least a 4mm sealed laminate edge around the graphic.
• To enhance the appearance of an image when using this media by altering the digital file or to
decrease banding during printing, follow the instructions provided elsewhere in this guide.
• Laminate images immediately, within 4-8 hours of printing, using Thermal laminates only.
