Xerox 003R06709 User Manual

• When printing multiple panels, leave enough gap around the image for appropriate finishing procedure.

• Use pressure sensitive laminates on banner vinyl for outdoor banner applications.
• Fabric/canvas do not require the use of an over-laminate, however a liquid laminate can be used.

• ON-PRINTER: DO NOT use the automatic cutter. Manually trim. 
• OFF-PRINTER: CONSIDER the finishing requirements before trimming. Leave enough material to accommodate any 

pockets, hems or grommets.

• It is best to unroll the finished graphics onto a table and cut between images. Handle the material in roll form for shipping.

Wind onto as large a core as possible [minimum diameter 3" (7.6 cm), preferably 6" (15 cm)] Wind the roll image side out. 

• A double-stitched hem with a maximum of 5 stitches per inch is recommended. Unlaminated images are easily scratched and

must be stitched hem side up so that the sewing machine foot comes in contact with the backside of the print. 

• FINISH edges using normal procedures for scrim vinyl.

Banners are designed to display short messages in a large manner to audiences from a distance (usually over 
10 ft or 3 m). The success of this application largely depends on the design element used as well as the physical place-
ment of the banner. Banners can be installed virtually anywhere from ceilings in shopping outlets to table fronts for
exhibit halls. Durable materials make the best choice when creating a banner because of the extreme amount of post
print finishing necessary for this application. 

For outdoor applications, fabrics and vinyls are used because of their ease of use and durability and resistance 
to weathering. In more mild conditions of interior banner applications, papers and lightweight fabrics can be 
considered along with vinyls and fabrics.

Art galleries, retail sales, showrooms, supermarkets, kiosks, ceiling displays, museums, theatre lobbies, entranceways
and service stations.
