Finish

Grommets should be placed in the hemline along the length of the banner so that the grommet is through two layers. Corner grommets should be placed where the length and width hems cross, so that the grommet is through four layers. A reinforced corner is also recommended to increase durability. Tape & Stitched Hem - Banner tape can be used and is preferred to sewing. If sewing, a double-stitched hem is
recommended with a maximum of five stitches per inch. Banner tape at least 4 mils thick performs the best. Finishing/Post Processing - Pressure sensitive vinyl laminates can be applied to increase the fade and abrasion resistance of the image. Before applying the laminate, allow the image to dry for 24 hours.

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 should be set for the highest print quality and media selection should be “heavy coated”. Ink coverage up to 250% is recommended.

Light Fastness

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.
