5 Mil Water-Resistant Self-Adhesive Vinyl
5 Mil Water-Resistant Self-Adhesive Vinyl is a 5-mil solvent acrylic adhesive-backed vinyl with a white point that enables bright, colorful photos to be printed on a durable, weather-resistant surface. The matte, ink receptive layer provides exceptional resistance to water and scratching. Graphics printed on this material will last up to 8 months outdoors without lamination and up to two years outdoors when laminated. The strong, permanent solvent-based adhesive sticks to most popular sign substrates and removes cleanly for up to 90 days.
Compatible with all aqueous inkjet printers.

| Adhesive Type | Permanent solvent-based acrylic |
| Ink Compatibility | Compatible with all thermal and piezo inkjet printers using water-based dye and pigmented inks |
| RIP & Printer Media Settings | For the best and most consistent results, a profile should be created using an external color calibrator in conjunction with your RIP and color matching software. However, if these tools are not available, printers using dye ink should be set for the highest print quality and media selection should be “Photopaper”. When using UV inks, the “heavy weight coated” option should be selected. Ink coverage up to 300% is recommended. |
| Light Fasteness | The fading time of inkjet ink is a direct result of the inks that you choose to use and the environment where the print is displayed. Please consult with your ink manufacturer for light fastness data. |
| Water Resistance | To obtain a high degree of water resistance, use only pigmented ink. Allow the print to dry for 24 hours before exposing to moisture. Lamination is not required. Ink saturation over 350% can affect the water-resistant properties and show ink bleed. |
| Optimal Service Environment | Recommended conditions for use: 10-30°C/30-50% R.H. Use care in handling printed material; surface is susceptible to abrasion. |
| Ideal Storage Conditions | 70° F (21° C), 50% R.H. (a controlled environment is recommended); store in original packaging. |
| Shelf Life | 1 year from the ship date when stored in proper conditions. |
