3M Offers New Three Year Inkjet Films For Signs

St. Paul, MN (April 11, 2007) — The 3M Graphics Market Center has released new three-year films for solvent and UV inkjet printing – 3M™ Scotchcal™ Graphic Film IJ35-10 and IJ35-20.

3M says the new products offer excellent image quality for indoor and outdoor applications and have a three-year expected durability. Recommended uses include general signage, architectural applications, display and exhibit graphics, POP signs and others.

The 3.2-mil opaque, polymeric calendered films offer superior layflat characteristics, excellent imaging and a slip-resistant liner for printing and cutting. Their clear, permanent adhesive provides reliable adhesion throughout the graphic life.

The IJ35-10 film is glossy; IJ35-20 is matte.

"These new films offer 3M quality at an affordable price," said Tim Boxeth, product marketing supervisor, 3M Graphics Market Center. "They are designed for consistent, dependable performance and ease of use by graphic manufacturers large and small."

As part of a launch promotion, graphics manufacturers can receive a free roll of film IJ35 if they purchase five rolls before November 16, 2007. And, while supplies last, every roll comes with a NASCAR collectible item.
