Enhance, protect and extend the life of your inkjet prints

Best practice depends on the application; a canvas, for example, is treated differently from a truck curtain side. For more delicate applications such as canvas, photographic and other inkjet prints, we recommend a soft cloth or sponge dipped in warm water with a mild detergent. Avoid alcohol and alcohol-based chemicals. Baby cleaning products give good results because they are so mild.

Truck curtain sides should be cleaned frequently, otherwise dirt will build up. It is tempting to use abrasive scrubbing or alcohol-based solutions to remove the dirt, but these can compromise the liquid lamination coating and leave a porous surface that lets dirt build up more easily afterwards.

Our UV Coating Series usually meets all the criteria for an ideal liquid laminate for UV ink prints (it’s not just for truck curtains). However, inks and substrates vary, so compatibility testing is necessary. Our experience makes this easier, so we recommend you check with us first. Most of our coatings need only a single application, but in some cases you may need one of our coatings that can also be used as a digital primer. For example, for anti-graffiti protection on UV-printed work, you may need to apply one of our coatings as a pre-coat/digital primer before applying our anti-graffiti coating. We are happy to work and test with you to find the most versatile and reliable coating.
