• Recommendations
  Always test your combination of REBEL products, inks and laminating films prior to commercial use.
  
  • 1) Printing Conditions: Print in conditioned pressroom at ±73°F (23°C) and 50% RH. The maximum allowable ink saturation is 270%.
  • 2) Drying Requirements: Solvent, Eco-solvent and Mild-solvent inkjet prints require 24 - 48 hr. drying time - open to the air. Inks do not dry when printed media is rolled up. The prints must be dry prior to lamination.
  • 3) Laminating Conditions: If the printed graphic is likely to be exposed to corrosive liquids, smoke, fumes, and highly polluted areas or there is a likelihood of scratching, it is highly recommended to laminate with Permacolor PermaGard® Series (high performance) or ColorGard LUV Series (intermediate) overlaminating films.
  • 4) Transportation Conditions: To allow for easy transportation, REBEL series can be rolled up, with the image out, with a minimum diameter of 6 inches (15cm). When the image is not protected by an overlaminate, make sure the print is completely dry and protected in a plastic bag. During transportation or storage, avoid exposing them to extreme temperature and humidity changes.
  • 5) Applications: This film is recommended for use in flat to moderately curved surfaces on:
    • a. Vending or dispensing machines and cooler graphics
    • b. Indoor and outdoor graphics and signs
    • c. Small format OEM decorative and identification graphics
  • 6) This film is not recommended for use on:
    
    • a. Corrugated or complex surfaces
    • b. Over rivets
    • c. On flexible substrates (banners, canvas, etc.)
    • d. Painted surfaces that are not thoroughly cured or properly bonded to the substrate.
