Landor UK Phototex OPAQUE (OPAS)

Landor UK Phototex OPAQUE (OPAS) is 95% block-out media with a bright white coating that is compatible with pigment, water based, solvent, eco-solvent, latex, and UV- inks. (See below for specific compatibility with inks) Phototex OPAQUE/BLOCK-OUT gives you vivid, sharp print results with brilliant colors! The Adhesive is Re-movable, Re-usable and Re-positional. Phototex’s characteristics separate itself from all other products on the market when compared to vinyl or similar fabrics. It sticks to virtually any painted surface. The Opaque version is great for overlapping/paneling and hiding marked or bright colored walls (especially in the non-printed surfaces) The material does not rip or wrinkle and is not required to be removed over a certain period of time. Results will vary on stucco and eggshell painted surfaces (use our non-opaque Phototex EX/EXS High Tack version on these surfaces).

OPA - Pigment/Water : Indoor or Outdoor
OPA - Latex inks: Indoor and Outdoor - liquid laminate for outdoor longevity
OPAS - Solvent inks: (S) series – Indoor or Outdoor – liquid laminate for outdoor longevity
OPAS - Eco-solvent: Indoor or Outdoor - needs liquid or spray lamination for outdoor.
OPA or OPAS : Dye based inks - mixed results try using pigment/water base version
OPA or OPAS : UV-UV curable inks - indoor and outdoor use (do not over saturate if bleeding as in rare cases curling can occur due to printing very heavy solids). May need to add a border. Also, overheating during printing can weaken adhesive. So, make sure you test in-house first. Phototex will not replace rolls under these instances. We are happy to send a free sample roll for testing in advance.

NOTE: We cannot guarantee clean removal on glass, vinyl or metal surfaces as the opaque coating can leave an opaque.residue, We recommend the standard Phototex version for these surfaces.

Compatibility and more
  • We have had success with all inkjet format printers and good results with grand format flatbed printers.
  • Dye inks vary, Try fixationparametersof 350° F / 40 seconds dwell/ 40 psi. mixed results
  • Photo Tex is environmentally safe and bio-degradable over time, No PVC and nontoxic.
  • There is no Glycol-Ether or Formaldehyde in the adhesive and no Detrimental concerns of Phthalates.
  • Not recommended for brick, non-painted cement surfaces, or heavy painted spackled wall board (EX/EXS high tack may also work in these cases). Phototex EX is water base and the EXS is solvent basecoating.
  • Make sure you allow 40-days on newly painted surfaces for out-gassing. Otherwise bubbles may develop.
  • Always check the heat setting on UV and UV curable printers to avoid over heating the adhesive and altering its tack. Do not oversaturate using UV inks to prevent curling – again, only if using UV inks is this test needed.
  • (EX) series is a 50% stronger adhesive and should be tested. No warranty applies
