Print-Smart Printable Media
About the Print-Smart Printable Media
Adhesive backed vinyls should be analyzed or broken down into three parts. The parts of an adhesive backed vinyl are, the finish, the film, and the adhesive. Adhesive backed vinyls are offered in two finishes: gloss and matte. Selection should be based on visual esthetics and lighting conditions to ensure a balance of “optimal viewing” of the displayed image.
Adhesive backed vinyls consist of two different films: cast vinyl and flexible vinyl. Each of these materials has very different performance characteristics and costs. Selection of vinyl type should always be based on durability and surface characteristics of the customer's application demands. Vinyl adhesives come in two types of categories. The first is a permanent adhesive and the second is a removable adhesive. Each of these adhesives have very different characteristics. Contact AGL to determine which is suitable for your application requirements.

Print-Smart™ Media Combination Kits
Our kits were created to offer a match component solution for most signage applications. Customers can easily order a kit containing the desired media adhesive strength and compatible laminate in the finish of your choice. Kits are available in either a permanent or removable matte white vinyl media to allow superior color accuracy. In addition, customers have the choice between a high gloss or non-reflective matte overlaminate. Both media and overlaminate utilize a UV cured adhesive that does not gas and therefore, doesn’t not cause the media or laminate to aggressively shrink. Additionally, AGL’s Print Smart media was developed to work with solvent, eco solvent, UV, and especially latex ink systems. The UV cured adhesive used in AGL’s Cover Rite laminate effectively bonds to all ink types while virtually eliminating silvering. Simply order the kit containing the desired media adhesive and laminate finish of your choice. Matte white vinyl media allows superior color accuracy.
