FAQ
Thank you for your interest in our prints.
Please refer to the following information and salient features:
What material is used in the printing process?
We use self-adhesive vinyl-like substrates.
3M™ Envision™ Print Wrap Film and 3M™ Scotchcal™ Overlaminates
This substrate involves printing on the 3M 480MC film and then laminating the printed film with 3M 8915 Ultra Matte Laminate.
The resultant print has a smooth matte finish.
What type of ink is used in the printing process?
We use Epson UltraChrome GS3 Inks.
These inks provide superb color precision, strong image stability, and they are nickel free (nickel can lead to fading).
Eco-solvent inks have several advantages over other inks, including:
- Environmental benefits
Eco-solvent inks are less hazardous than traditional inks because they don’t contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs). This makes them easier to dispose of safely and recycle. The inks are also dissolved in a mild solvent, which reduces emissions of harmful fumes during the printing process. - Durable
Eco-solvent inks are waterproof, lightfast, scratch-resistant, and can withstand harsh outdoor conditions for many years without lamination. Lamination can increase the longevity of the prints. - Other benefits
Eco-solvent inks have virtually no odor and require less curing time than solvent inks.
How should I install the prints?
Clean the surface with Rubbing (Isopropyl) Alcohol and let dry completely for 24 hours before applying.
We recommend hiring a professional for installation.
