Printer/Ink Compatibility
Compatible with all thermal and piezo inkjet printers using water-based dye and pigment-based inks.
Software Settings
The heavyweight coated or matte setting in most RIPs is appropriate; however, we recommend a custom ICC profile for optimal results. Please refer to www.brandmangagementgroup.com for ICC profiles for some printers.
Lightfastness
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. Contact the ink manufacturer for light-fastness data.
Finishing/Post Processing
