One Way Vision For Eco-solvent Manufacturers

One Way Vision For Eco-solvent

A perforated window film with a specialized coating optimized for eco-solvent ink adhesion and performance, offering a lower-VOC solution for one-way vision graphics.

Manufactured by Shanghai Hanker Industrial Co., Ltd.

Product Overview

One Way Vision for Eco-solvent is a pressure-sensitive perforated film developed for use with mild or eco-solvent inkjet printers. It addresses the need for an environmentally preferable option in one-way vision advertising without compromising on durability or print quality.

The material features a porous, quick-drying surface layer designed to absorb eco-solvent inks efficiently. This results in faster dry times compared to traditional solvent inks and reduces the need for extended outgassing. The micro-perforations are engineered to maintain structural integrity during printing and application, providing the same 70/30 visibility ratio as its solvent counterpart. It is a suitable choice for shops transitioning to greener technologies or operating in areas with VOC restrictions.

Product Benefits

This eco-solvent version offers advantages aligned with modern printing practices and environmental considerations.

Reduced Environmental Impact

Designed for use with low-odor, low-VOC eco-solvent inks, making it suitable for shops without extensive ventilation systems and aligning with greener business practices.

Faster Production Turnaround

The quick-dry coating significantly reduces ink curing time compared to standard solvent inks, allowing for lamination and installation on the same day in many cases.

Energy Efficient Drying

Lower heat and airflow requirements for drying compared to some solvent inks, potentially reducing energy consumption in the print and finishing process.

Product Features

Specific features of the eco-solvent one-way vision film enhance its performance with newer ink technologies.

  • Fast-Absorbing Coating: Micro-porous surface rapidly absorbs eco-solvent inks, minimizing ink pooling and dot gain for sharp image reproduction.
  • Low-Odor Production: Combined with eco-solvent inks, the printing process generates minimal odor, improving workplace air quality.
  • Enhanced Ink Bonding: The coating is chemically formulated to create a strong bond with eco-solvent pigments, improving scratch resistance without lamination.
  • Wide Compatibility: Tested and optimized for major eco-solvent ink brands like Roland ECO-SOL MAX, Mimaki SS21, and Mutoh Mild Solvent.
  • Dimensional Stability: Maintains its size and perforation geometry during the printing process, ensuring accurate panel alignment for tiled graphics.
  • Consistent Perforation Clarity: Perforations remain open and free of ink clogging during printing, preserving visibility from the inside.
  • Good Conformability: Flexible enough for application to curved bus windows and vehicle sides.
  • Printable Liner:Liner accepts registration marks for precise contour cutting after printing.

Printing & Handling Guidance

ICC Profile Use

For best color results, use an ICC profile specific to "eco-solvent perforated window film" or calibrate your printer for this media type. The porous surface can affect color saturation.

Drying & Handling

While dry times are fast, allow prints to rest flat for the recommended time. Avoid stacking or rolling prints until the ink surface is completely dry to the touch to prevent blocking.

Application Technique

Use a wet application method with a slip solution for best results on large windows. The material's slightly faster tack can make dry application on large pieces more challenging.

End-of-Life Consideration

Check with local recyclers regarding PVC recycling. The combination of PVC film and water-based adhesive may have different recycling streams than solvent-based products.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common queries regarding the use and performance of eco-solvent one-way vision film.

Can I use my existing solvent ink printer with this eco-solvent film?

Yes, if your printer is capable of printing with eco-solvent or "mild" solvent inks. However, you cannot use strong solvent inks (like those for older Roland SJ/SG models) on this film, as the aggressive chemicals may damage the specialized coating. Always check your ink compatibility.

Is the outdoor durability of eco-solvent prints as good as solvent prints?

Modern eco-solvent inks have excellent outdoor durability, often rated for 3-5 years unlaminated. The difference compared to standard solvent inks is minimal for most applications. For maximum longevity, especially in harsh climates, laminating with a UV-protective laminate is recommended for both types.

Why is the dry time so much faster?

The film has a micro-porous, quick-dry coating that absorbs the ink carrier (the "solvent" part) more rapidly than standard vinyl. Additionally, eco-solvent inks themselves are designed to penetrate and dry faster than traditional solvent inks, which primarily dry through evaporation.

Does the "eco" version cost more than the standard solvent version?

The film itself is typically priced similarly. The overall project cost may be influenced by ink costs (which can vary) and potential savings from faster turnaround (reduced labor/overhead) and lower ventilation/energy requirements. The value proposition is in operational and environmental benefits rather than pure material cost.

Can I print double-sided graphics for see-through effect?

No. One-way vision film is designed for one-sided printing on the white face. The adhesive side is not printable. For a true two-sided translucent graphic where images are visible from both sides, a different material like a translucent white vinyl or perforated double-sided film is required.
