some problems faced using photo tex

[PhotoTex Group Inc.]

Hello, Let me answer these questions. If you are using Solvent or Eco-Solvent ink, you can scratch into the ink as the solvent does not carry the same characteristics as the UV, Water Base or Latex. So we do recommend liquid lamination in high traffic areas when using Solvent Ink and also for outdoor use (again Solvent only). Now if you want to wipe the material with a damp cloth, then again we recommend you use liquid laminate with any ink. We really do not get any complaints concerning people scratching into the material though. But you can always e-mail me. I will do my best to take care of any questions!

Clearshield is good for solvent. Krylon UV is cheap and good for pigment.

I haven't used phototex for a few years now (since my last job), but we printed on a Roland SP540 & had NO problems with scratching phototex. I did always install it with MacTac felt blocks though.

We had one large job that went on the side of a box truck to advertise a yearly event. We put it on the side of the box truck, then removed it after a month (put it back on its backing paper), and re-installed it every year for three straight years with no problems with the material/ink.
