I have a customer who is interested in getting his pizzeria counters covered with printed vinyl, but he is concerned because while he was in my shop viewing samples he noticed that when he slid his fingernail on the prints, it left marks behind. That marks are not damaging, but they are noticeable. The products we tried this on include 3M 1080 matte balck wrap film, and various printed 3M vinyls, all laminated with either a 5 year matte laminate or 5 year gloss laminate.
I don't know what to tell him. I've never encountered this before, nor has anyone ever expressed concern with this.
His point is valid, however. When I run fingernail on the laminated prints, it does leave behind a mark that is only noticeable to me because I am looking for it.
I'm interested to hear your thoughts, ideas, suggestions, experiences and cures for this. Is there a way to remove these scratch marks? Is there a laminate you use that does not do this at all?
Thanks.
