Durability Indoor and 6 months outdoors. This use-life estimate is based upon accelerated age studies. Please note that exposure to severe temperatures, ultra-violet light and also tropical, sub-tropical or desert regions will cause more rapid deterioration. This also applies to polluted areas, high altitude and south facing exposure. • Display panels • Screen printed decals Printability Printability is not warranted. However, we have created the following guidelines if printing is desired: 1) For screen printing: Limit the screen ink to two or three colors. While the liner is an excellent liner, it is designed for plotter cutting. Sometimes too much heat may result in the liner ‘waving’ a little which can cause registration issues when additional colors are used. Mactac recommends Nazdar 3500 series UV cured screen inks. 2) If printing UV inkjet; make sure the vacuum (if flatbed) is strong enough to hold the liner down tight. Typically it is, but vacuums are notoriously weak, especially as they age. 3) If printing with solvent inks; limit the inks to a total of 270% saturation. Use a generic ICC profile for either 2 mil cast of 3.5 mil calendared vinyl films as a starting point. 4) Thermal transfer printing: all MACmark gloss films are thermal transfer printable. We strongly recommend the use of a web cleaner prior to printing due to the potential presence of paper dust from the white kraft paper liner. Shelf Life Two years when stored at 75°F (24°C) and 50% relative humidity or less. Chemical Resistance A sample is prepared in the same manner as for the Chemical Resistance Test and is immersed in the test fluid followed by drying at each stage.
