Vinyl films should be ideally stored between a temperature of 18° to 22°Celcius and 50% relative humidity. Avoid direct sunlight, and sources of excessive heat. Altering these storage conditions will shorten the shelf-life and longevity of finished goods.

For industry-leading motocross graphics, the majority of our customers use a combination of Ultracurve 660LSE or Ultracurve X1 and Ultracurve 1500. While there may be thinner combinations, or lower grade products on the market, more professional and amateur championships are consistently being won on Ultracurve 660LSE/X1 and Ultracurve 1500.

For helmet graphics we recommend Ultracurve H1 print media, combined with either Ultracurve 1000 or Ultracurve 1500 laminate. Ultracurve 550LSE is also an excellent print media choice for clear decals. Laminate thickness is dependent on customer preference.

We recommend preparing installation surfaces with isopropyl alcohol prior to applying decals or graphics. It is important that the surface is free from dirt, dust, adhesive, oils, and other contaminants. Improper preparation can lead to premature product failure.

Substance products are compatible with Solvent, Eco-Solvent, Latex, UV, and Thermal-Transfer inks. We recommend testing all unique inksets prior to use. For high-volume customers, we can add specialty coatings for water-based inkjet compatibility.

If your printer uses Latex, UV, or Thermal-Transfer inks, there is no required waiting period between printing to laminating. If your printer uses solvent or eco-solvent inks, a dry time of 24 to 48 is highly recommended. Failure to follow these guidelines will result in excess solvent retention, which can adversely affect the adhesion levels of the print media and overlaminate.

We only recommend genuine 60° OEM blades for cutting our materials, in our experience aftermarket blades do not work and will not last.

We highly recommend a dry installation technique. This insures optimal adhesive performance and longevity. For difficult applications, we offer many products with FLO Technology, allowing a bubble-free application to virtually any surface. For customers more comfortable using an application fluid, we recommend thorough testing prior to commercial use.

When removing existing decals and graphics, we recommend using low to medium heat, while peeling slowly at a 90 degree angle. Start by lifting a corner or edge, and pulling off the remaining decal slowly. Isopropyl alcohol will remove any remaining adhesive residue.

Of course we can! There may be minimum volume requirements, but we can manufacture print media and overlaminates for virtually any application. Your imagination is the only thing holding you back! New products are also created by popular demand. Let us know what you're looking for and we'll do our best to help.
