777N & 777HP View-Thru Film

AZONcolor View-Thru Film is among the most popular products for inkjet output today. Our patented semi-opaque film is designed specifically for backlit applications and offers extremely high color fidelity with all types of backlit fixtures. Because our film is a semi-matte, there is no need to add a diffuser between your output and light source. Our new “instant dry” coating allows immediate handling of the print.

It’s always best to calibrate (linearize) your printer each and every time you change media and/or ink sets. Refer to printer manual for specific instructions on calibration.

AZONcolor Inkjet Media works best in controlled operating conditions. Recommended operating conditions are: Relative Humidity…20-70% and Temperature…65-85°F. Dry time for your image will vary and is dependent on printer, inks, amount of ink used, environmental conditions, and media type. Most graphic images can be handled within 20 minutes of printing. Images using heavy ink coverage may require 30-60 minutes of drying time.

Storage Conditions

Lamination

Always store inkjet media in a cool, dry place. Recommended storage conditions should fall within the guidelines of “Operating Conditions” (see above). If storage conditions do not fall within these guidelines, it is recommended that the media be allowed to acclimate to the operating conditions for 48 hours prior to printing.

Overlaminates can provide effective protection of your image from moisture and limited protection from UV fading of the inks. Another reason to use a laminate is to add or diminish gloss on your final image output. Both hot and cold laminates are available with varying results. It is, however, extremely important that your image be completely dry prior to laminating. Your print may not laminate properly if laminated before fully dry, causing it to de-laminate over time. We also recommend that your image be completely dry before mounting to avoid its becoming ruined.

It is extremely important to handle View-Thru Film from the edges and avoid handling in the imaging area of the paper. Fingerprints, dirt, and oils from your hands can cause inks to repel and result in poor printer output. A pair of cotton gloves is provided with the product. Use them when loading and unloading View-Thru Film from your machine. Always return unused media back into its white polyester bag. For proper loading instructions, please refer to the manual supplied with your machine.

Inks

AZONcolor View-Thru Film is designed to work with your printer manufacturer’s dyebased ink. Use of inks other than the original equipment manufacturer’s ink may require testing to qualify that ink with AZONcolor media and/or may produce poor results. Ink loads of 200% are recommended. Higher capacities of ink may require an extended dry time.

Input Affects Output

When generating files for wide format graphics applications, it is recommended that raster images such as tif, bmp, jpg, etc., maintain a minimum of 75 pixels per inch (PPI) at final output size. This will eliminate “jaggies” or “bitmapping” of continuous tone images. Vector files (usually referring to text and illustrations drawn in software applications such as Corel Draw and Adobe Illustrator) will remain crisp when scaled up as long as your application does not rasterize the information (i.e., if imported into Adobe PhotoShop). Acceptable color matching of vector files to Pantone Matching System (PMS) specifications can be obtained if your RIP software utilizes proper ICC profiles when outputting to specific ink/media/output device combinations.
