Foam PVC Also known as: closed-cell PVC foamboard Brand names examples: Celtec®, Forex®, Komatex®, Sintra® Preparation  If the media has a protective film attached, peel the protective film off of one side, leaving the other side protected until finishing or installation of the finished graphic.  If one side is smoother than the other, print on the rougher side for best adhesion.  Wipe the printing surface with an anti-static tack cloth to remove static charge and any dust or debris.  If an anti-static tack cloth is not available, 90% or higher IPA on a lint-free cloth can be used to remove dust or debris. Allow the sheet to sit out on the input table about 5 minutes to allow the IPA to evaporate and the static to dissipate. Recommended print modes  Depending on application, ink coverage and image content, all print modes may print acceptably. Printing   Select Foam PVC when configuring and loading this media. Use a Foam PVC media profile from the RIP software. Output handling  No special handling required.  If ink adhesion is inadequate, print in a higher quality mode and/or wait 24 hours before finishing. Always use a sharp blade when cutting. 17
