Water-based Inkjet Printable

What are the benefits of using water-based inkjet printable films?

Water-based inkjet printable films offer high-quality, vibrant results for self-adhesive printing, making them ideal for retail, promotional and signage applications. They provide excellent print clarity with dye and pigment inks, are easy to apply, and are available in both PVC and PVC-free options. Their versatility allows them to be used for indoor displays and short-term outdoor signage while supporting sustainable and cost-effective printing solutions.

Can water-based inkjet printable films be used outdoors?

Yes, selected ranges such as Coala vinyl W are designed for short-term outdoor use, with an outdoor durability of up to one year on flat or slightly curved surfaces. These films maintain high print quality with water-based dye and pigment inks and include a B1 fire rating for indoor safety. They are a reliable option for temporary outdoor promotions, event signage or seasonal campaigns.

What surfaces are suitable for water-based inkjet printable self-adhesive films?

Water-based inkjet printable self-adhesive films are suitable for smooth, flat and lightly curved surfaces commonly used in visual communication. They adhere well to materials such as glass, metal, plastics, and coated boards, making them ideal for retail displays, exhibition panels, and temporary indoor or outdoor signage.

How to select water-based inkjet media for slightly curved surfaces?

When choosing water-based inkjet media for slightly curved surfaces, consider flexible films such as Coala vinyl W, which offer reliable adhesion and print quality for up to one year outdoors. For projects requiring higher durability or alternative printing methods, UV offset litho & screen printable options may be more suitable, as they provide enhanced resistance for more demanding applications.
