Banner Vinyl 14
Description
Vinyl designed for excellent image quality when used in either 360 or 720dpi print mode. This
material is constructed of a tear resistant polyester base fabric embedded between two layers of
white vinyl. It is water resistant, and designed for use in all banner applications indoors and most
outdoor applications except where durability in extreme wind and weather conditions is required. Use
standard finishing procedures for banners. Banner Vinyl gives excellent image permanence and does
not require the use of an over-laminate unless subject to abrasion or extreme moisture.
Applications
Ideal for indoor and outdoor banner applications, e.g., art galleries, retail and event promotions, long
hallways, showrooms, supermarkets, ceiling displays, museums, theatre lobbies, entranceways,
petrol stations, car park advertising, backdrops, signage, and tradeshows.

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.
• Use within the temperature range 18-30˚C and relative humidity of 40-60%.
• Avoid over-saturating with ink for such as CMY / CMYK black. Reduce individual and overall ink
limits (<220%) to improve drying and production speed. Too much ink may cause light "oil-
spots" to appear. Working at lower ink limits improves image weather resistance.
• Some banding may be evident close viewed but from the likely viewing distance for banner
graphics it should be invisible. Unidirectional printing can help reduce banding.
• This is a heavily coated, extremely thick material. It may be easier to run this media from the
back roller and an automatic cutter should not be used during media loading or print production.
• Do not fold images. Use "slip sheets" to prevent image offset from one print to another.
• Over-lamination is not required except for conditions of extreme moisture or abrasion. Use
Pressure Sensitive laminates only.
