Prints That Get Attention-Now with a Longer Life Expectancy

When thinking of vibrant long-lasting outdoor signage, imagination has no boundaries with new ChromaLuxe® Outdoor. As the global manufacturing leader of premium dye-sublimation media, ChromaLuxe has taken a creative and innovative leap toward luxury outdoor graphics. ChromaLuxe Outdoor is an improved metal print that is over two times as durable as the original ChromaLuxe EXT.

Current testing with Epson inks now shows it has an even longer print permanence- an expected 225-year rating* indoors!

Display photography and signage come to life in the outdoors. Direct sunlight can shine on these beauties since these panels withstand the elements. The new metal print offers a 5+ year outdoor rating. Now, you have more choices. A new Matte White finish has been added, and the original Gloss White and Gloss Clear are still available.  ChromaLuxe® Outdoor panels come in various sizes to suit your customers’ needs, no matter their industry. All will benefit from the image quality and depth — from hotels to high-end retail, corporate settings to public spaces, art installations to décor.

ChromaLuxe dye-sublimation process and proprietary coating offer vivid graphics that make images pop off the panel. The proprietary coatings provide resistance to typical weathering and surface destruction, often seen with other outdoor print media.

Some additional product features include:

• Retains original gloss level

• Will not crack or delaminate

• Easy to clean

• Resistant to graffiti, chemicals, scratch, impact, and wind

• No need for laminates or overlays

Help your customers create an elevated experience with ChromaLuxe® Outdoor.

ChromaLuxe® Outdoor is available NOW. To learn more, please contact a LexJet Customer Specialist at 800-4-LEXJET.

*Testing is currently taking place. Numbers are realistic projections based on where we are in the process. Close to complete on all but the 300-year product.

Top 5 Hottest Launches of 2018

Top 5 Hottest Launches of 2018

Looking back on 2018, we’ve seen a lot of much-needed innovation, as well as power-house collaborations. Our top five launches of the year answered customer demand for versatile, cost-effective, application-driven solutions across the board in the wide-format market. If you haven’t tried these new options, what are you waiting for? The year’s almost over!

Fabric transferred using InFuze transfer paper

LexJet InFuze® Dye-Sublimation Papers — Adding to our dye-sub portfolio was a top priority for our customers who were bringing this new technology to their tool kits. We created the fresh InFuze brand, and brought to market four high-end, competitively-priced transfer paper options that our customers couldn’t refuse:

Outdoor signage transferred to ChromaLuxe EXT

ChromaLuxe EXT — Another important product line for our dye-sub customers is the stunning ChromaLuxe metal photo panels, a high-demand item. This year, ChromaLuxe introduced its EXT line, geared toward extended outdoor use — something dye-sub wasn’t able to achieve previously. The EXT innovation won ChromaLuxe an SGIA Product of the Year award, and it’s not hard to see why. Check out this story about how the panels were used as wayfinding signs for Felts Audubon Preserve.

AveryxLexJet — In one of the wide-format industry’s biggest news stories of the year, LexJet partnered with Avery Dennison, adding more than 200 calendared and cast vinyl, film and laminate products to our product line. Now, LexJet customers have access to all the vehicle and fleet wraps, wall films and so much more.

LexJet Flex Tek used for banners

LexJet Flex Tek — One thing so many print shops struggle with is inventory space, that’s why we love all-in-one media products like LexJet Flex Tek 170g for aqueous printers and LexJet Flex Tek SUV 200g, compatible with eco-solvent, latex and UV-curable inks. This non-woven technical fabric is lightweight and easy to use, making it a go-to option for hanging banners, retractable banners and even wrapped canvas.

HP Vinyl + Overlams — What the world needs now is a line of vinyl products that work well and are priced right. That’s what we delivered with the massive launch of the new HP Vinyl line of products.

We brought them big time with our 2018 SGIA Expo booth, where the colors were bright and installation was a breeze. But don’t take it from us — listen to what customers have said:

HP Vinyl for walls
  • “The colors are truer than with my previous material and the gloss is more vibrant.”
  • “We did an install onto a gym wall mat and it went on without a hitch! The rigidity of the material and the strength of the backer lead to a smooth installation.”
  • “My guys love the HP. They grab it for every application they can use it on, and they tell me that the air-release component is the best they’ve ever used.”

Now that you know all the hottest launches of 2018, stay tuned to this blog to discover the trends you need to keep an eye on in the New Year!
