Preparation
• If the media has a protective film attached, peel the protective film off of one side, leaving
the other side protected until finishing or installation of the finished graphic.
• If one side is smoother than the other, print on the rougher side for best adhesion.
• Wipe the printing surface with an anti-static tack cloth to remove static charge and any
dust or debris.
• If an anti-static tack cloth is not available, 90%-or-higher IPA on a lint-free cloth can
be used to remove dust or debris. Allow the sheet to sit out on the input table about 5
minutes to allow the IPA to evaporate and the static to dissipate.
Recommended print modes
• Depending on application, ink coverage and image content, all print modes may print
acceptably.
Printing
• Select Foam PVC when configuring and loading these media.
• Use a Foam PVC media profile from the RIP software.
Output handling
• No special handling required.
• If ink adhesion is inadequate, print with a higher quality mode and/or wait 24 hours
before finishing. Always use a sharp blade when cutting.
