Xerox Banner Vinyl 400 g/m
2
Product Description
A mid-weight vinyl with a textile textured back, designed to provide a flexible, water- and tear-resistant base for
indoor banners, and short-term outdoor applications where the banner is not subjected to wind or heavy duty
mechanical stresses. Outdoor capabilities are also subject to properties of the specific ink system used.
indoor banners, and short-term outdoor applications where the banner is not subjected to wind or heavy duty
mechanical stresses. Outdoor capabilities are also subject to properties of the specific ink system used.
The bright white print-receptive coating works with either dye or pigment ink systems and can achieve excellent
image quality with good color densities, high resolution and sharp edge-definition. Pigment inks should be used for
any applications where the print will be subject to UV radiation.

This material is suitable for the range of standard finishing procedures for banners. Lamination is recommended for
prints requiring protection from dirt, abrasion or general weathering. This media is suitable for pressure (cold)
laminates but not thermal (hot-melt) laminates.

Applications
Suitable for indoor banner applications such as art galleries, retail and event promotions, long hallways or walkways,
showrooms, supermarkets, ceiling displays, museums, theatre lobbies, entranceways, retail mall advertising, sport
arenas, political campaigns, backdrops, signage, trade shows, table fronts. In contrast to standard presentation graphics
and photo-based media applications where close-up viewing is normal, banner vinyl graphics are normally intended for
viewing from 6 ft (2 m) or more and expectation of image quality is not equal; e.g. some banding may be acceptable.

Critical Operating Instructions
• For best results store and use within temperature of 50-86°F (10-30°C) and 30-65% relative humidity.
• Banner vinyl image quality will differ from that of presentation paper and image quality expectations should
allow for mid-distance viewing. Printing in unidirectional mode can minimize banding on some images.
• Avoid putting too much ink on the media as this may cause light spots to appear, especially in heavy coverage
areas (such as 4 color blacks). Recommendation for total ink limit for Xerox 8142/8160 pigment inks is 220%.
• Over-lamination is not necessarily required except where subject to extreme moisture or abrasion.
Use pressure sensitive laminates only.
• Do not stack or fold unlaminated images. Use “slip sheets” in carriage to avoid image offset from one
unlaminated image to another. Don’t touch with grease, oil, or silicones.
