We regularly receive calls and emails from companies and individuals looking to overcome the shortcomings and limitations of inkjet.
A salesperson may have told you that you do not need to laminate, or that your prints will last longer without it. This is very subjective, and it invariably reflects the salesperson’s point of view rather than yours. That is why you should understand the problem and the solution before it leads to disappointment, a lost customer or a failure you did not expect.
Inkjet inks are getting better. Every year, every new printer model and every new ink series improves on the last. But ink will always be permeable; it will never be indestructible. It may have very good scratch and water resistance, or even be waterproof. However, some improvements may also bring new weaknesses with them.
Protection against abrasion and the environment, whether in heavy-traffic areas or outdoors on applications such as vehicle graphics, is what still makes added protection essential. Landor Liquid Lamination coatings and our range of liquid laminates address these issues and limitations, even with today’s much-improved, resilient and generally impressive inkjet inks.
The longer you want a print to last, the more sense it makes to protect it. Then consider the ‘what if?’ What if a chemical gets onto it? Just one coat of protective varnish or liquid laminate could have protected that digital print for much longer.
For a little extra, your inkjet prints will withstand the elements. Landor Liquid Lamination is fully tested and has been proven for over 20 years. If we do not already know how a print will perform, we will test and evaluate it for you free of charge: just send us a sample. More often than not, though, we know that our liquid lamination coatings will at least double the life of your prints.
All we need from you is your inkjet printer, substrate, ink and general application, and we can help you achieve long-lasting lightfastness and abrasion, chemical and water resistance.
