3M IJ40 Stress Test

[radiohead223]

here is a little update on a Stress Test we have been doing here. 18months ago we printed up a colour chart on 3M IJ40 and LG ld3950g. both these we laid on a sheet of signwhite and placed them on the roof of our workshop here.


over laminate for IJ40 was IJ40-114 and LG over laminate was LP3912g

So you will now charge extra for the special "distress" effects in the LG media?
Forgot to ask;
what lam did you use on the IJ?

Sure someone didn't take a torch to the LG

i do work in the north part of australia so our UV is rather high but still it showed us 3M is still a good staple for us to stick with

Over the years we tried sample rolls of many other brands. Time and time again we are right back with 3M for good reason..... Some of the others are not too bad but that LG looks horrific!

Very interesting test, thank you.

our next test we are doing is the difference between 3M IJ40 vs IJ35.... have to see how the 35 goes in the UV we have around here

I use a ton of IJ40. No complaints so far.

i've never had one complaint from a client about IJ40.... only my boss here about the price of it and wanting cheaper options

had complaints about LG, oracal and the most recent being some Automark brand that we used a few rolls of

i must say i loved oracal in normal vinyls and translucent but just the over laminated has always had a lot of movement after two years in this area

So... 'waiting to read 'bout the 35 vs 40 field test. Anything you can say?
