William Smith - New 3M printing films available

3M™ Scotchcal™ IJ8624 & 8624ES Graphic Film for Textured Surfaces, a unique conformable cast film, is specifically designed to give clean photographic quality images on moderately textured flat or curved surfaces. Bricks, breeze - block, tiles and poured cement can now all have full-coloured graphics applied. The film offers excellent adhesion when applied using the appropriate 3M application tool.

IJ8624 is suitable for solvent inkjet and electrostatic printing only as the ink allows flexibility on textured surfaces, and its grey adhesive effectively hides the original wall colour, which enhances the photographic quality of the image. It comes with a 3-6 months outdoor durability and a two years indoor durability.

It offers a fast, clean and inexpensive alternative to painted graphics. There is no need to create expensive smooth surfaces and it is removable with heat, leaving walls undamaged.

With IJ8624 blank indoor or outdoor wall space becomes an opportunity for advertising and promoting products as well as other creative graphic applications.

3M™ Scotchcal™ Luster Overlaminate 8524 is designed for use with IJ8624, giving it protection and enhanced wear resistance, particularly when piezo inkjet printing has been applied to the base film.

Also new from William Smith is 3M™ Scotchcal™ IJ70 series, a highperformance cast film that is ideal for a variety of mid to long-term applications on flat and slightly curved surfaces (with and without rivets). It is designed for both interior and exterior applications and comes with up to an 8 year durability unprinted. It is ideally suited to use for interior and exterior signs and graphics, and fleet graphics.
