• Walls or walls due to its easy-to-remove adhesive.
• Curved or corrugated surfaces requiring superior conformity and low shrinkage.
• Surfaces that do not have adequate cleaning, preparation and/or finishing.
• Surfaces with low surface energy or with the presence of release agents (PTFE, silicones, waxes, etc.)
• Paints that do not have adequate drying, anchoring and curing or irregular paints that have pores or bumps.
• Rusty surfaces.
• Non-rigid and flexible substrates that tend to lose their stability or original shape.

Printing process
It must be taken into consideration that the interaction of inks with self-adhesive vinyl during the printing process affects its components, and this is why it is important to allow the respective curing process of the inks to act depending on the inks being used. wearing . The recommendations are to wait at least a period of 24 hours after printing to carry out an additional lamination or installation process. Likewise, the conditions at the time of printing should be around 25°C with a relative humidity between 40 and 60%.

Pre-Installation Tests
It is advisable before carrying out an installation, to carry out a test with a letter-size print, adhering it to the surface to be installed and checking the adhesion and removal behavior after 24 hours.

Tips
When installing, the following recommendations:
• Ideally, they should be smooth surfaces.
• Wear gloves to avoid fingerprints on the vinyl film.
• As with most installation recommendations, it is important to clean the surface well of any degreasers or dust that may be present.
• The most recommended thing in these cases is NOT to use aqueous solutions for installation and always do it dry.
• It is recommended to clean with a cloth or alcohol wipe to remove grease and dirt.
• Tools such as spatula and heat gun should be used to help the installation process correctly.
• The help of a base primer to promote adhesiveness and reinforce the installation with edge sealant is recommended depending on the surface to help anchor the adhesive.
• The installation conditions must be ideal and the surface to be installed must be between 4° and 40°C and relative humidity between 40 and 60%.
• Hydrocarbon-free compounds must be used to clean the graph.

Vinyl Removal
Aspects to take into account for efficient vinyl removal:
• Carry out the removal slowly and maintain an angle of approximately 90° between the surface and the vinyl.
• Adhesive residue may remain on the surface, depending on the type of surface and compatibility with the adhesive, as well as the method used for removal.
Before starting production, it is recommended to carry out tests on the substrates beforehand due to the different compositions they may have.
