High Visibility Assured, Day And Night
Round-the-clock visibility on the road - using both reflective and non-reflective self-adhesive marking films - is the best way to maximise the value of commercial vehicle graphics.
Both are optimised for printing on wide-format and super-wide-format inkjet printers with solvent, mild/eco-solvent and UV-curable inks.
Both constructions are claimed to benefit from the proven Avery Easy Apply technology, which facilitates smooth decal application without air bubbles (which can simply be rubbed away without the need to pierce the film).
It combines a permanent, low-tack, repositionable adhesive with a grey-pigmented coating to give added facefilm opacity and clean, long-term remove-ability, added the company.
The company believes that the combination of features means that applicators can achieve precise results in a short time and then remove the decals without leaving any adhesive residue at the end of their life.
Additionally, Avery MPI 1004 Easy Apply is fully-compatible with the new Avery DOL 1030 3D-Laminate, which is recommended for surface protection of the printed graphics.
Bryan Westgeest, Avery Dennison Graphics' product manager for digital printing, said: "Avery DOL 1030 3D-Laminate sits like a thin skin over the printed substrate and aids handling and application, especially over curves and corrugations.
Initial reactions from the industry to this newly-launched over-laminating film have been very enthusiastic - particularly as it does away with the need to use costly liquid lamination." Printed graphics on Avery MPI 1004 and Avery MPI 2004 Easy Apply benefit from the protection of the Avery Supreme Cover open warranty system, added Avery.
Westgeest added: "These premium products deliver complementary characteristics that make them the ideal digital films for digital printers who want to be able to respond to customers' needs quickly and with high-quality results at every level.
They are easy to print with an extensive colour gamut at high print speed, easy to apply, and easy to remove.".
