Inkjet Optically Clear
Ultra Cling.
Ultra Cling Clear Vinyl is
our Original Clear Ultra Cling Media. This media is ideal for any application
that will not accept static cling. See more general info on our Ultra cling
below on this page.
For Car window we strongly recommend this
media as static cling can sometimes fall off glass surfaces that have been
cleaned at one time or another with some cleaning agents that include anti-fogging
and or streak-free agents. The UCF (Ultra Cling Film) works in the same
way as the static cling but it has a new generation micro spear coating
that clings to more types of substrates than the static cling.
The UCF film is intended
for indoor use only but may be used temporarily outdoors if laminated using
over laminate spray or film.
(We recommend Krylon Crystal Clear spray available here or Rust-Oleum also
available here or similar products from another source)
Printing:
1) Copy/Print on to the coated side of the media using compatible printer.
2) To prevent a paper jam, make sure the sheet is not bent or warped or
corners folded BEFORE loading. Loading by hand ONE SHEET at a time is
a way to make sure it loads correctly. For this media it is important to
select the correct printer driver setting. In general the transparency setting
or glossy photo film setting (not paper) will work best. Depending on the
Inkjet printer and color of ink used the label may be ready for use in as little
as few minutes. In some cases you may have to allow the ink to dry for several
hours or over night. Some universal refill inks may NOT work with this media.
Mounting:
1) When mounting this label to any surface, clean the substrate and remove
residual grease, soot or dust. This media uses new type of tacky film (micro
spears) to adhere to most substrates even cardboard, wallpaper, smooth wood
etc.
2) Peel the film GENTLY off the supporting paper in such way that you avoid
stretching the media.
3) Line up your label. When the position looks correct, let the label make
contact with the surface on one edge and work down the rest of the surface
using your fingers. Do not use excessive pressure when working the label
in this way because you may smudge the ink.
Tip: To make Ultra cling labels for automobile windows or when you want
the label to be visible from the other side of a window or glass door. Follow
the steps above with two exceptions. Note: You must be using the CLEAR
Ultra Cling.
A) Print mirror or reverse
image
B) Spray the whole sheet with
OUR WHITE WINDOW MASKING SPRAY when the ink is dry.
C) Let the paint dry.
D) Follow mounting instructions
above.
For Car window we strongly recommend the UCF media as static cling can sometimes
fall off glass surfaces that have been cleaned at one time or another with
a cleaning spray that includes anti-fogging and or streak free agents.
The UCF (Ultra Cling Film works in the same way as the static cling but
has new generation micro spear tack coating that cling to the glass.
You can spray the label before you apply it (after printing) to prevent
over spray. Fixative spray is available in most craft stores or you can
use spray sold in most automotive parts stores. Using clear spray as the
only protection will offer limited water proofing. If the label is to be
used outdoors we recommend using our WOL over laminate together with the
spray.
Using any of our inkjet media inside an automobile should be considered
an outdoor use because of moisture and extreme temperature changes.
If this media is to be used indoors where steam or moisture is present then
the artwork once printed must be protected with clear spray. For Car windows
we strongly recommend the UCF media.
To extend UV resistant of Inkjet media HPS offers over laminate with built
in UV barrier.
Ultra cling can be used on almost any substrate where as Static Cling must
be used on glass or glossy finished items only. Papilio Ultra Cling has
one side coated with inkjet coating and the other side coated with special
cling substance that uses special "micro-spear technology" to CLING to substrates.
This technology is similar to regular adhesive but when it is time to remove
the label it can be peeled safely off almost any substrate. This media is
in fact similar to our Cling Tack Media but is more advanced and safer on
delicate substrates than the ultra low-peel adhesive.
