LG Chem does not warrant banner materials for the following.

• Seamed in order to make a larger banner

• Ripping, tearing, or damage due to the effects of the weather or the environment.

CAUTION: The weather resistance of the film that is laminated to the top of BANNUX or the ink used in printing may contribute to the durability of the end-products. Therefore, our warranty is just for undecorated BANNUX.

Maintenance

Use a cleaner used for high quality printed surfaces.

1. The cleaner must be wet, non-abrasive, and without strong solvents or alcohol.

(Solvent and alcohol can damage banner materials and printed images.)

2. The cleaner must not be either strongly acidic or alkaline (pH value 3.0~11.0).

Shelf Life

• Keep in a clean, dry area

• Process the banner material within 1 year of factory shipment

• Storage Condition: Free from excessive moisture, temperature, direct sunlight (20℃ x 50% R.H)

• Keep away from chemicals such as oil and wax

Printing on Materials

• VIZUON BANNUX UGS (UMS) is designed for digital printing with solvent inkjet inks.

• To get the best print results, use the best quality of inks that the printer makers recommend.

• The printer operator should work with the graphic designer or color conversion operator to prevent

possible complications or color issues.

• Do not exceed total ink coverage of 250% for VIZUON BANNUX materials.

Too high of an ink level on banner materials may result in media characteristic changes,

inadequate drying, and/or poor print quality.

• Printing should be done under room temperature.

• Too much tension and force may damage the material; therefore, keep the tension under 7 kgf.
