SEAL Graphics at Photokina 2006
At this year's Photokina, SEAL Graphics will present no less than ten new printable inkjet media: three water-based and seven solvent-based; as well as the new AquaSEAL 72 UV liquid laminator.
They can also be printed using solvent, eco-solvent and UV-curable inks, said the company.
Seal added that notable amongst the new vinyls and polyester films is Solvent Vinyl Quickmount, an 80micron, monomeric vinyl with a dot-structured adhesive that enables fast, bubble-free appliance to virtually any surface.
Designed for rigid indoor applications, such as exhibition walls, the dot coating of the glue also makes it easy to remove the graphic at the end of its use.
For outdoor use, Seal Graphics' new Solvent Mesh PVC is said to provide durability and stability alongside vibrant colour rendition.
It is suitable for building wraps and banner applications.
Seal added that its Stoplight backing films have been complemented with Solvent Stoplight 400, a new 400micron addition to the family that combines the ulight-blocking properties of Stoplight with a universal coating, making it suitable for all kinds of solvent, eco-solvent and UV-curable inks.
The scratch-resistant and water-resistant polyester provides the rigidity and opacity required for pop-up and flexible indoor displays.
The company's Digital Wallpapers have been designed for wide format digital print applications.
They consist of a white PVC coating on a woven fabric base and can be used with solvent and eco-solvent, as well as UV-curable, inks.
They are also scratch-resistant and come with a NFPA 701 fire rating.
Seal said that the wallpapers are available in four textures - Soft Satin, Crushed Rock, Raw Silk and Venetian Plaster.
All are claimed to be easily applied, requiring no special skills or tools.
For additional protection and longevity in heavily traffic areas, they are also suitable for finishing with liquid lamination using the company's range of Aquaseal coaters and liquid laminates.
