Wrap-Grade Print Vinyl (Flexible Signs)

Latex Print Technology for Traffic Compliance

We have spent over a decade using HP Latex print technology. Latex printing has become one of the, if not the best, Ink technology for use in vehicle wraps. With this proven technology, you get to enjoy vibrant colors with high flexibility and rapid turn-around for your wrap projects. We have committed ourselves to continually invest in this technology until a suitable replacement comes to market.

Key Facts:

• Resolution: 600 x 600 DPI

• Excellent Gamut: CMYKlclm Ink set, 14pl Ink Droplets

• Extremely High Ink Flexibility: Great For Full Coverage and Complex Vehicle Wraps

• Durable Inks: Highly Scratch Resistant

• No Ink Texture

GelUV Print Technology for Custom Signs

GelUV, when initially released in 2016, brought a lot of promise to change printing as we knew it. In late 2018 Oce’ released a new version of GelUV that made good on that promise. We adopted GelUV in 2019 after learning what it provides to our clients. GelUV offers a significantly expanded color gamut (over Latex inks), Higher throughput, near bullet-proof scratch/chemical resistance, much smoother gradients, and picture-perfect image quality. GelUV is our default technology of choice for all flexible stock printing, including Vehicle Graphics (Not Complex Wraps), Posters, Decals, Wall Graphics/Wraps, Banners, and more.

Key Facts:

• High resolution: 1800 x 600 DPI

• Expanded Color Gamut & Smooth Gradients: No DOT-Gain, 10pl Ink Droplets

• Cold Printing: No Material Deformation, Exact Ink Placement

• High Ink Flexibility. Great for all applications, excluding complex wraps.

• Extremely Durable Inks: Near Bulletproof Scratch and Chemical Resistance

• Minimal to No Ink Texture

Our advanced technology allows us to offer our print ink in a “matte” finish. This matte ink offers reduced glare and allows for an increased matte look on matte-based materials. This option is not compatible with Film lamination.

Lamination, also known as “over-laminate,” is designed as a protective layer over digitally printed products. It helps to increase durability against scratches, enhances the color and depth of your image. As a bonus, Laminates are also useful for adding increased UV, temperature, salt-spray, and weather resistance levels. Lamination increases the overall thickness of the printed product; as a by-product, it increases the product’s strength and allows for a more painless installation process for your vinyl film products.

Key Facts:

• Available in Matte or Gloss Finishes

• Protects images from scratches and abrasions

• Enhances color and depth of the image

• Excellent UV, temperature, humidity, and salt-spray resistance

• Upgraded Long Life Laminates available

• Matched to Print Film for best longevity and support

This is the ‘classic’ shape that is commonly seen in use today.

These are the other ‘classic’ shapes commonly seen in use today. Because this shape has no sharp edges, it offers the most resistance to peeling after application.

This is cut to your unique custom shape. This method is used to match the perimeter of a logo, design, or custom artwork. Our recommendation, if this option is selected, is also to select the Transfer Cut Option.

Our decals are also available as nested sheets. These sheets will enable you to create a group of decals in a “kit.” You can choose any combination of the above shapes on these sheets. You also have the option to leave the excess area in place (For logo printing, instructions, or reorder information) or to remove the excess and have a transfer sheet.

Corner rounding is the process of clipping the angles of straight edge corners to an arc. This process increases sign durability and the safety of people exposed to these signs by reducing sharp edges. By Default, We offer rounding on all four corners and select radii; Please contact us with special finishing requests outside of our default.

Die-cutting is a finishing process in which the image is contour cut through both the vinyl layer and the carrier/backing. This method makes the decals stand out immediately and allows for high precision during the installation process but is only suitable for simple, low-detail shapes.

Kiss-cut decals are very similar to Die-cut decals with one significant difference. The image is cut through the vinyl layer only, leaving the carrier/backing fully intact. With Kiss-cutting, you maintain the benefit of a sturdy carrier sheet allowing for easier installation of your graphic. If your image is highly detailed or requires "Weeding", Choose our Transfer option.

A Transfer is a finishing process that combines Kiss Cutting with Die-Cutting and the two other Weeding and Masking processes. Transfer decals are kiss cut, then the excess vinyl is weeded away, and a transfer “mask” layer is applied. Finally, the decals are die-cut out to squares or rectangles. This process allows for highly complex decals with multiple colors.

• Weeding: This is the process of removing the excess material from the Kiss cut process.
• Masking: This is the process of applying an application tape or “mask” over the top of the decals. They are ultimately designed to aid in the installation process of fine-detail, complex-shaped decals by providing extra “body” and a low tack adhesive to hold the detailed image in alignment. After the decal is applied, the mask is removed and discarded.
