Supported media
Vinyl
Vinyl is media with PVC-material surface. As generally vinyl is adhesive-backed, by removing the release paper on
the back you can stick the media easily. Depending on its gloss grade, the vinyl is classified into three categories:
glossy vinyl (with high gloss), matte vinyl (with no gloss), and semi-glossy vinyl (with medium gloss).
When the media is applied on some prints, a gray adhesive-backed vinyl is effective to avoid the prints seen through
the top media.
For backlit purpose application, the PVC material surface is sometimes transparent or translucent.
Banner
Banner is polyester fiber cloth media with both sides coated with synthetic plastic film such as PVC. As the
banner is water- and tear-resistant, it is used for tent canvas, construction wrap sheets, and inkjet-printed banner
advertisements.
Depending on its gloss grade, the banner is classified into three categories: glossy banner (with high gloss), matte
banner (with no gloss), and semi-glossy banner (with medium gloss).
Mesh banner (with liner)
Mesh banner is perforated banner media reinforced with mesh grid. As its open structure allows wind to permeate,
the mesh banner is wind- and tear-resistant, and withstands heavy wind.
Depending on whether liner (ink absorbing back sheet) is present, the mesh banner is classified into two categories:
backed and unbacked.
Backlit banner (FF)
Backlit banner flexible face (FF) is translucent, that is, semi-transparent banner media. Thanks to that, it is used for
backlit signs inside light boxes.
Compared with an acrylic sign, the backlit banner is lightweight and easy to handle, wind- and tear-resistant, and
highly safe. it can withstand strong wind pressure.
Solvent printing coated paper
Solvent printing coated paper is a type of paper media with a coated printing surface that facilitates solvent ink
adhesion and renders vivid colors.
Its thickness depends on the product type. When the media is applied on some prints, a blue back type is effective
to avoid the prints seen through the top media.
