Practical guides to coating, finishing and caring for printed graphics with Landor liquid laminates, inkjet sprays and coating machines.
A practical guide to wet-applying vinyl graphics and decals with Action Tac, Splash or Window Juice, from surface preparation to squeegee technique.
How gloss, satin and matt liquid laminate finishes differ in colour, glare and abrasion resistance, which Landor products come in each, and how to decide.
How to clean liquid-laminated prints, wallcoverings and vehicle graphics: mild cleaners, soft cloths, cure times, disinfectant care and finish-specific tips.
Why Landor recommends coating canvas prints before stretching, how to apply two thin coats, and how long to leave the coating to cure first.
Bubbles, roller lines, pinholes, cloudiness, poor adhesion, blocking and cracking: the usual causes of liquid laminate coating faults and how to prevent them.
Why touch-dry is not fully cured: how water-based, UV-curable and solvent coatings dry, what affects drying time, and when coated prints are safe to handle.
Estimate liquid laminate coverage and cost per square metre: wet film thickness, number of coats, spray losses, labour, equipment and pack sizes.
Working safely with liquid laminates: ventilation, masks and PPE for solvent sprays and UV-curable coatings, safety data sheets and clean-up.
Step-by-step guide to hand-rolling a water-based liquid laminate: choosing a roller, loading it, laying thin even coats and avoiding lines, bubbles and dust.
Spraying inkjet prints with ClearJet and ColourJet aerosols or a water-based coating in an HVLP gun: choosing a product, technique, ventilation and coverage.
Plain-English definitions of liquid lamination terms: coating types, Landor product names, finishes, wet and dry film thickness, curing, blocking and more.
Most coating faults start before the roller touches the print. Check ink compatibility, outgassing, cleanliness, temperature and test panels before you coat.
How to remove paint, marker and tags from anti-graffiti coated graphics without harming the print: cleaners, technique, testing and when to recoat or replace.
Set up a water-based roll-to-roll liquid laminator: room conditions, coating prep, loading rolls, coat weight, drying, test runs and clean-down.
Keep liquid laminates in good condition: protect from frost, acclimatise before use, stir without shaking and store coated prints correctly.
