LexJet Makes Digital Output Magazine’s Readers’ Choice Award List

Digital Output Magazine Readers' Choice AwardsLexJet was recently included in Digital Output’s 19th Annual Top 50 Readers’ Choice Awards. Each year Digital Output’s readership dictates the top 50 winners and ten honorable mentions, as well each companies’ top products.

Using the magazine’s website metric system, www.DOdirect.net, the magazine tallies readers’ interest in companies and products throughout the year. This is done via requests made on print and Web editorial and advertisements as seen in the magazine, on the Web site, and in Digital Output’s weekly newsletter the Digital Queue.

This year, readers voted for the following as LexJet’s top new products:

  • LexJet Poly Select Blockout Fabric: LexJet Poly Select Blockout Fabric is a 14-mil bright-white polyester fabric with a blockout layer that provides greater opacity. Compatible with aqueous and latex inks, the fabric lays flat, minimizing edge curl and making it easy to work with in production. The water-resistant coating provides exceptional imaging quality with a wide color gamut and higher ink saturation for rich, brilliant, eye-catching color. Poly Select Blockout Fabric is an excellent alternative to scrim banner for durable banner applications.
  • Sunset Production Matte Canvas: Print shops and art reproduction companies looking for an economical inkjet-printable canvas alternative for longer production runs that provides consistent quality can now add LexJet Sunset Production Matte Canvas to their arsenal. It is a bright-white, water-resistant 100% polyester matte canvas with the look and feel of a traditional 2-over-1 weave for all types of art and décor applications. It’s designed to work flawlessly with Sunset Gloss Coating and Sunset Satin Coating, either sprayed or rolled on.
  • FaceMount-X Removable Adhesive: LexJet FaceMount-X Removable Adhesive has a permanent solvent acrylic adhesive on one side where the graphic is applied facing out and a removable solvent acrylic adhesive on the other side where it’s applied to the inside of the window. The air flow release liner on the removable side makes installation quick, easy and bubble-free. Once the promotion or campaign is over, the graphic is easily removed with no residue.

“The Top 50 Readers’ Choice Awards identify some of the most innovative vendors in the graphic arts,” says Tom Tetreault, editor-in-chief/publisher, Digital Output.

The 2013 Top 50 Readers’ Choice Award winners will be included in the November issue of Digital Output as part of both the print and digital versions, which is expected to be distributed on Oct. 25. Go to www.digitaloutput.net for more information and to subscribe.
