It’s all very well printing huge coverings and colourful tension systems, but how do you keep them durable and looking good for longer? Inks have vastly improved, but many brands now also want a finished solution that is sustainable, long-lasting and lightfast. This is the complete solution many brands are looking for.
The fading in the image above, compared with the image on the left, is typical of what can happen to unprotected images outdoors.
Whether you are printing onto PVC, fabric or banners, and certainly for outdoor use, a little liquid lamination keeps your inks and substrates in pristine condition and durable for the long term. No special machinery or equipment is needed. Many sign companies can start doing this right now for every printed sign. Simply applying it with hand rollers, sprays or paint pads, on a wall, floor or table, can roughly double the life of your print.
Whatever you spend to print and install a sign, a touch of liquid laminate is a great investment that helps meet your customers’ value expectations. It will also save you from having to replace signs that just didn’t quite make it.
Liquid lamination is one of the easiest ways to increase the value of your assets or your customers’ assets. You can double the life of a print outdoors, but if a sign stays up while the image ages badly, the fading and deterioration will damage the brand and possibly your reputation.
Below: liquid lamination can preserve the colour vibrancy and durability of your prints for much longer than uncoated materials.
