  * Flexographic Printing requires a topcoat. WVG000113 has been approved by ACTEGA Coatings and Sealants (ww.altana.com) as in-line coat-able ink primers. To achieve the best possible print quality, please make sure that the correct ICC profiles or printer settings are used. Profiles can be obtained from our Distributors or can be downloaded from www.mactac.com . Printer and heater settings and ICC profiles can also be downloaded from some O.E.M. or software manufacturer’s websites.
  
  The ICC profiles are provided solely as a customer resource. Print environments, the individual nature of printing systems, inks and software can significantly affect output. It is the customer’s responsibility to determine the suitability of any profile for use in their specific print environment.

• Recommendations
  Always test your combination of REBEL products, inks and laminating films prior to commercial use.
  
  • 1) Printing Conditions: Print in conditioned pressroom at ±73°F (23°C) and 50% RH. The maximum allowable ink saturation is 270%.
  • 2) Drying Requirements: Solvent, Eco-solvent and Mild-solvent inkjet prints require 24 - 48 hr. drying time - open to the air. Inks do not dry when printed media is rolled up. The prints must be dry prior to lamination.
  • 3) Laminating Conditions: If the printed graphic is likely to be exposed to corrosive liquids, smoke, fumes, and highly polluted areas or there is a likelihood of scratching, it is highly recommended to laminate with Permacolor PermaGard Series (high performance) or ColorGard LUV Series (intermediate) overlaminating films.
  • 4) Application: Do not use wet application fluids when applying this media unless it is specifically designed for emulsion adhesives. Standard application fluids including soap or detergent in water may cause the adhesive to turn white.
  • 5) Transportation Conditions: To allow for easy transportation, REBEL series can be rolled up, with the image out, with a minimum diameter of 6 inches (15cm). When the image is not protected by an overlaminate, make sure the print is completely dry and protected in a plastic bag. During transportation or storage, avoid exposing them to extreme temperature.
