Installation Tips & Best Practices:

Color Accuracy:
Exact color matching is not available. For best results, refer to our [Color Optimization Guide], especially when printing rich blacks or blues.

File Setup for Cutting:
To achieve accurate die cuts, consult our [Die Cut Printing Guide] before submitting your design files.

Surface Prep:
Ensure the application area is clean, dry, and free from grease, dust, or debris. Use Arlon-recommended cleaners and a lint-free cloth for best results.

Environmental Conditions:
Install in a moderate-temperature, low-humidity environment. Follow Arlon’s guidelines for the optimal temperature range to ensure proper adhesion and finish.

Dry Fit Before Application:
Position the vinyl using low-tack tape before removing the backing. This allows you to align and verify placement before final application.

Application Process:
Begin at one edge and work across using a squeegee or approved applicator. Apply consistent pressure to eliminate bubbles and secure adhesion. Avoid overstretching the material.

Final Touches:
Once installed, go over the entire surface again to reinforce adhesion—especially along edges and corners. Allow adequate time for the adhesive to cure before cleaning or exposing the vinyl to stress.

Cleaning & Care:
Use a mild soap solution or Arlon-approved vinyl cleaner with a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid harsh chemicals to preserve the quality of the vinyl.
