Process and Handling

Splice Free Guarantee

ORAFOL’s digital printing materials are manufactured in the industry’s most advanced computer-controlled facilities, assuring you of consistent, splice-free quality from roll-to-roll.

Storage and Handling

The self-adhesive products, ORACAL®, ORAJET ®, ORAGUARD®, ORABOND®, ORALITE®, and ORALUX® are supplied in rolls and should, at all times, be stored suspended or standing on end with provided roll blocks. NEVER store material lying on its side. Materials should be kept in a cool dry place. For optimal product performance, relative air humidity should be between 50% and 60% and temperature between 64°F and 72°F. Avoid storing material in direct sunlight, or near excessive heat (i.e. radiators). Please observe the shelf life instructions contained in the technical data sheet available for each film at www.orafol.com.

Instructions for Printing

Digitally printed materials should be handled with the utmost care. To prevent surface damage use lint-free gloves. Before printing, check the surface quality of the film to remove obvious film damage, dirt, grime, lint, etc. For best results, use the correct ICC profile based on your specific combination of media, ink, printer and RIP software. For FREE color profiles, visit the Support section of the ORAFOL Americas website. Don’t forget to match the digital media with the recommended laminate.

Lamination

Lamination of inkjet prints is recommended to ensure longer lifespan at optimum quality (gloss, color, resistance to physical damage). ORAGUARD® laminate films enhance the desired appearance of the graphic (gloss, matte, semi-gloss). They also provide excellent protection against fading from exposure to UV rays. To avoid delamination, edge curling, and adhesive failure, allow solvent printed graphics to outgas for at least 24 hours at 70°F (48-72 hours), before trimming or applying a laminate.

ORALIFE™ Component System Warranty

Up to 8 Years of Protection for your Printed Graphics. The ORALIFE™ Component System (OCS) warranty from ORAFOL Americas includes specially matched media and laminates to fit almost any graphic application where a pressure-sensitive adhesive is needed. Combined with your approved wide-format inkjet printer and corresponding OEM ink sets, the OCS warranty can help you achieve an unrivaled level of performance and guaranteed reliability for your outdoor digital prints.
