Getting the best results with PVC banners on the HP Latex 3000
PVC banner s are one of the most common substrates used in wide format printing. Economical and durable, they
are widely used in outdoor advertising to promote products, events and exhibitions.
This document provides tips and tricks for getting the best results from the HP Latex 3000 Printer when printing on
PVC-based flexible banner substrates.
Some of the common types of PVC banner are:
PVC frontlit banner
–
also called PVC Flex banner, PVC Scrim Banner, or PVC Banner.
PVC backlit banner
–
translucent versions, intended for retro-illumination.
PVC mesh banner
–
small holes in the banner allow air to blow through, preventing the banner from pulling
down scaffolding or fencing in high winds. See notes on Mesh Banner later in this document.
PVC blockout banner
–
heavyweight versions, with a thick central layer that prevents the image on one side
being seen from the other side. Often used for double sided printing.
PVC truck curtain tarpaulin
–
the heaviest type of banner material, intended for heavy use and long term
applications, such as truck side curtains in some countries.
Also covered in this document:
PVC wall coverings
–
some heavy-duty wall covering materials have a top coating of PVC. This group is also
covered in this document, as these substrates have similar printing requirements to the PVC Banner.
