IPM media should be handled with care as any surface contamination may affect the print quality. Media should be processed in an environment of 15-25°C and 30-70% relative humidity. Finished prints should be wrapped in polyethylene film and dispatched flat or rolled with the printed side facing outwards. To protect prints against water, UV/light and abrasion, overlamination with a clear film is recommended. The recommended DOL is the Avery DOL 4100 to protect the printed graphic. Always test your combination of Avery IPM medium, inkjet printer and inks prior to commercial use.

Chemical properties

If not overlaminated, Avery Perforated Window Film is resistant to water, humidity, solvents, most mild acids , alkalies and salt. Due to the open structure of the film, exposure should be limited to an absolute minimum. Overlaminated Avery Perforated Window Film has the same resistance to chemical substances as the overlaminated film. Avery Perforated Window Film is also resistant to most commonly used cleaning detergents, provided that thorough rinsing is following the recommended exposure to the cleaning detergents.

1. Test methods
   More information about our test methods can be found on our website.
2. Durability
   The durability is based on middle European exposure conditions. Actual performance life will depend on substrate preparation, exposure conditions and maintenance of the marking. For instance, in the case of signs facing south; in areas of long high temperature exposure such as southern European countries; in industrially polluted areas or high altitudes, exterior performance will be decreased.
