All purchasers of Landor Phototex products shall independently determine the suitability of the material for the purpose for which it is purchased. Seller’s and manufacturer’s only obligation shall be to replace such quantity of the product proved to be defective. Neither the seller nor manufacturer shall be liable either in tort or in contract for any loss or damage, direct, incidental or consequential (including loss of profits or revenue) arising out of the use of or the inability to use the product.
No statement or recommendation not contained herein shall have any force or effect unless in agreement signed by officers of seller and manufacturer.
We recommend our clear coats or liquid lamination coatings when you need extended life, or protection of your prints especially if outside, or in heavy traffic areas. It is always best to liquid laminate while Phototex is still on the liner, however if you do need to liquid laminate after installation it is advised to be very careful not to liquid laminate to the edges as the liquid can seep around the edges and attach to the adhesive. We do not usually recommend film laminates but some thinner, cold laminates can work on flat surfaces.
Yes, you can kiss-cut or contour cut the material with a high steel blade (carbide) or sharp blade. Slow the speed down some if needed and turn on over travel.
Aqueous box has Green tape and a Orange core and Solvent has blue tape and a White core.

You need to wait at least 30 days after a wall has been freshly painted as the paint needs to out-gas. Otherwise, you will get veins, bubbles and tunnels from the paint out-gassing.

Both the dual CMYK and the 6 color Below VS640. The 6 color would be loaded with CMYK, light cyan, light magenta and another Magenta & Cyan. The files are named as VS-640, but they cross-load with the 540 size as well. These are both for VersaWorks.
