Inkjet Ultra Cling.
Ultra Cling Clear Polyester
is our Original Clear Ultra Cling Media. This media is ideal for any
application that will not accept static cling.
See more general information
on our Ultra cling here below on this page.
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 static cling.
The UCF film is intended
for indoor use only but may be used temporarily outdoors if laminated by
using an overlaminate spray or film.
(We recommend Krylon Crystal Clear spray available here or Rust-Oleum also
available here or a similar product from another source)
Printing:
1) Copy/Print on to the coated side of
the media using a compatible printer.
2) To prevent a paper jam, make sure the sheet is not bent, warped, or
the corners folded BEFORE loading the media. Load the media by hand ONE SHEET at the time is
the 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 ink used the label may be ready for use in as
little as a few minutes. In some cases you may have to allow the ink to dry
for several hours or even 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 a 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 a 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 here above with two exceptions. Note: You must be using
the CLEAR Ultra Cling. A) Print mirror image B) Spray the whole sheet with
WHITE acrylic paint when the ink is dry. C) Let the paint dry. D) Follow
mounting instructions here above.
We strongly recommend the UCF media as static cling can sometimes fall off
of glass surfaces that have been cleaned at one time or another with cleaning
agent(s) that include anti-fogging and or streak-free agents. The UCF
(Ultra Cling Film works in the same way as the static cling but has next
generation micro spear tack coating that clings to the glass).
You can spray the label before you apply it (after printing) to prevent
over spray. Fixative spray is available here, or 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 the UV resistance of Inkjet media HPS offers an overlaminate with
a built
in UV barrier.
Ultra cling can be used on almost any substrate where as Static Cling can
only be used on glass or glossy finished items. Papilio Ultra Cling has
one side coated with inkjet coating and the other side coated with a special
cling substance that uses advanced "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 of almost any
substrate. This media is in fact similar to our Cling Tack Media, but is
more advanced and safer on delicate substrates than ultra low peel
adhesive.
