Outdoor Blue Back Poster Paper

8

Description

This matt white water-resistant poster paper is inherently opaque but has a blue back to reinforce
the highest possible opacity to meet the requirements of billboard poster applications as is the case

with traditional screen print papers for this application. It is suitable for a wide range of indoor
graphic applications too, but is primarily designed for outdoor use without lamination. Wet strength

is suitable for soaking as part of the bill posting process. High ink capacity allows bright prints with
excellent colour density and gamut. Tested and approved by the Swiss billboard association APG and

other authorities. Compatible with commonly used adhesives, application practices and Northern
European weathering to meet the needs of billboard advertising specifiers such as Viacom.

Applications

Excellent for all single or multi panelled billboard applications: Bus shelters, subway
advertisements, sporting event signage and promotions, outdoor festival signs and displays, outdoor

markets, construction signs, indoor presentation applications. Also excellent as a low cost backlit
display for such applications as bus shelter advertising.

Operating Instructions

Store in a cool, dry environment, out of direct sunlight, within temperatures of 10-35

o

C and non-condensing

relative humidity of 30-70%. Store rolls in original carton and wrapper to protect from dust and moisture.

Shelf life is 2 years if kept in original packaging as specified.

Ensure that roll ends are protected and that edges of the media are not damaged. If the media edges are

not flat this can result in damage to the printer.

Use within the temperature range 18-30˚C and relative humidity of 40-60%.

Wet paper at least 8 hours prior to pasting. Longer soaking has no negative impact on the paper’s strength.
Ensure appropriate microbiological precautions.

This paper may expand up to 2.5% when wet. If intended installation requires exact size consider imaging
the design approximately 98% to compensate for possible expansion.

Let the graphic dry for at least 24 hours prior to soaking and installation.

This is a same day paste and post product. Let soak in water for 1 hour prior to pasting to minimise wrinkles

during installation. Can be soaked in water for up to 48 hours prior to use.

Do not use anti-freeze during billboard installation as ink adhesion may be lost.

Recommended Pastes:

Zellura UST

Natural Paste (Fish Paste: K. Blattman, potato starch: AVEBE)

Tylose C 6000, Planatol & Chimcoll (contains biocide, difficult to dissolve)

Lamination is not required and this paper may not adhere well to some laminate films.
