LexJet Print-N-Stick Certified for Floor Graphics

With the increased urgency for temporary signage, we’ve got some great news: Print-N-Stick Fabric is now certified to use for floor graphics.

When using aqueous or latex ink, the self-adhesive fabric offers a slip rating based on American National Standards Institute (ANSI) testing. Using Marabu ClearShield Wall Armor can prolong the life of the graphics, but other solutions, like panoRama Walk & Wall, are recommended for long-term usage.

LexJet Print-N-Stick fabric is a customer favorite media that offers a matte finish and repositionable adhesive. The safety of consumers is of utmost importance and that’s why floor graphics are currently in high demand. It’s important that retailers are using the right materials to ensure everyone’s safety.

If you are printing floor graphics for short- or long-term usage, check out our resource page for inspiration. Have questions? Contact a LexJet sales specialist at 800-453-9538 for assistance.

Amanda from DigitalProLab wanted to help people connect, so they came up with the Print Pal Program. For $5, anyone can submit an uplifting, positive image and message to Digital Pro Lab’s website, and then Amanda’s team prints out 5×7” photos and distributes them anonymously to other participants. “Receiving the prints will give a little different type of emotion,” she says. “There is a message of hope.

Now Available at LexJet: The HP Latex Family of Cutters

Recently, HP launched the Latex Print & Cut solution by bundling the HP Latex 115, Latex 315 and Latex 335 with cutters, giving print providers the opportunity to trim and cut graphics without interfering with their workflow, saving both time and money.

Realizing that many latex printers were purchased prior to the release of the bundle, HP knew that those users could benefit from the addition of the HP Cutter with the latex they already have in house, so they company released the HP Latex Cutting Solution at the ISA show in March.

The new cutters will give all users of the HP Latex 300 and 100 series printers a true print and cut option, that includes FlexiPRINT and CUT RIP. With three options, there is a solution available to everyone, from beginners to seasoned shop veterans:

  • The HP Latex 54 Basic Cutting Solution is an easy and affordable option for those whose graphics demand don’t exceed 54 inches and has a maximum cut speed of 33in per second (84 cm/sec)
  • The HP Latex 54 Cutting Solution is a great way to grow your business with your 54-in latex in the graphics market. This cutter offers a faster maximum cut speed (44 in/sec; 113 cm/sec) for quicker turnaround times
  • The HP Latex 64 Cutting Solution will accommodate graphics as wide as 62.2 inches (158 cm) with the same maximum cutting speed as the 54 inch model (44 in/sec; 113 cm/sec)

The addition of an HP Cutting Solution or Latex Print & Cut will open up opportunities in applications like labels and stickers, floor graphics, wall decals and window graphics.

If you currently own a Latex 300 or 100 series printer and are interested in adding one of these solutions to your workflow, call one of our LexJet sales specialists at 800-453-9538 or visit us online at LexJet.com.
