User Guide for Applying One-Way-Vision Self-Adhesive Vinyl

Posted on by Admin

By : Tan Very Irawan

Applying window perforated vinyl also referred to as see-through vinyl, or one-way vision film is a bit different than applying regular self-adhesive vinyl films. As with any installation, preparation is critical, and one-way vision has its own process. Below are some guidance that could help you in applying One-Way-Vision whether it is on car, window store, or even office glass window.

After Printing Process

In most cases that images are eco-solvent printing with dark colors and heavy saturation, so please make sure that the vinyl has enough time to evaporate the solvents (recommended 48 hours), before you apply to any surface!

Preparation

  1. The best temperature to apply is between 15-40 degrees on the environment.
  2. Avoid direct sunlight whilst applying the film, as the UV rays could destroy the properties of the adhesive and lead to an increase of residue.
  3. Whilst cleaning the glass prior to the graphic application, it is recommended to do an isopropyl alcohol wipe using a soaked towel to clean the surface and a dry towel wipe to remove crease or dirt that has left behind on the surface.

Finishing

It is important to trim the edge back for about 0,5cm on all sides to prevent lifting. For cars, the rubber seals surrounding car windows expand and contract with the weather and they contain oils which will affect the adhesive on the film and can cause failure.

Though this may not be a guarantee due to wide range of possible applications, but we hope above guidance could help in making the best result with our PROVIEW PR140/20R One Way Vision Film, the first one way vision film with 80:20 perforation in Indonesia. For more info on our products, you can call to our office or leave us a message through any of our social media channel.

HOW TO STORE VINYL ROLLS PROPERLY

Posted on by Admin

We all know that it is important to have the right material for the job. And it is also very important to store the material properly in order to have it in good condition. Each RITRAMA Self Adhesive film series comes with a guaranteed shelf life provided that customer maintain certain storage conditions, with focus on four important elements that could affect media storage: Temperature, Water and Humidity, Pressure, and Inventory Management.

By following a few simple steps, you can avoid wastage and keep your vinyl in pristine condition, ready for the next project.
1. ESTABLISH IDEAL TEMPERATURE

Set the storage conditions to a temperature of 15oC to 25oC and relative humidity 40% to 60%. Any hotter or more humid and the adhesion will lessen. Printing defects can also occur with a storage temperature above the recommendation
Avoid storing rolls in areas with high exposure to sudden change in temperature. (E.g.: areas exposed to outdoor contaminants, near open doors, boilers, heaters)
2. WATER AND HUMIDITY

Avoid excessive humidity or direct moisture contact to the rolls such as concrete floors or exterior walls. As it will damage the release liner resulting in waviness along the edge of the vinyl.
3. AVOID SURFACE PRESSURE

The rolls must be stored in their original packing and kept in a vertical position (consider using customized portable rack) or should be hung on a specially installed roll holders.

4. INVENTORY MANAGEMENT

Maintain FIFO (First in First Out)by clearly label your vinyl rolls and take the time to note the remaining length. It will help the inventory and allows you to quickly identify the rolls needed for particular job.

Vinyl storage is a matter of a controlled environment, keeping the area dry, and storing the rolls vertically. By storing the vinyl properly, you always get the best performance of your RITRAMA media.

Laminating Tips: Silvering

Posted on by Admin

December 30th 2019

Have you ever seen silvery specs in a laminated print? This defect is called silvering. It’s caused when tiny air bubbles are captured between the adhesive on an overlaminating film and the surface of a print. Silvering is generally most noticeable in the dark shadow areas of a print.

Possible reasons for silvering occurrence based on our experiences are as follow:

  1. Insufficient roller pressure – Improper downward pressure between the laminator rollers and uneven roller set up (Low cost, hand crank laminators) often cause silvering.
  2. Laminating speed too high –Lowering the laminator speed allows for more time for pressure to be applied to the laminate, thus sealing the air bubbles on the print.
  3. Thinner adhesive coat weight –A thicker adhesive coat weight can fill in the area between the print and the overlaminate.
  4. Hard adhesive –A softer adhesive can also fill in more of the area between the print and the overlaminate.

One tip that we can share to avoid it is regarding the drying time. Laminating a printout before it is completely dry can cause bubbles to trapped between the media and overlaminate. To overcome this problem, it is necessary to provide enough drying time for at least 24 hours or more before the lamination process is carried out in order for the printed output to be more optimal. The use of products that are of good quality from trusted distributors can also minimize the deviation result of the printouts.

Related to the adhesive layer, the formulation of laminated products has an important role to produce a good appearance and minimize silvering. One of our products, PROLAM, a general purpose lamination film, have been formulated with standard adhesives that are in accordance with the quality specified by Multi Viscomindo. You can choose from the standard version of PROLAM V80, or PROLAM V70 for the economical version.

Will a Car Wrap Damage the Paint on My Vehicle?

This short article is made based on our experience in order to help customers who questioned about general stickers being applied on paint surfaces, especially on cars. Certainly a simple answer for above question is: A Vehicle Wrap Will Not Damage Factory or High Quality Paint. (Scott, 2017)

“But what if there is Poor Quality Paint on My Vehicle?” some customers asked.
We understand that not every vehicle to be wrapped is coming directly from the factory. Many cars being used are of older or re-purposed vehicles as an economical choice for their fleet, in which usually surface has been repainted before. Certainly this is not uncommon at all. But need to note that wrapping vehicle with ‘re-painted’ paint will most likely to have a paint damage when removed. So prior to wrapping any vehicle, it is best to check and notify the car owner about it, so that the owner can decide before committing to a vehicle wrap and not later surprised with the result after removal. (Scott, 2017)
