Face Film: The face film of Ritrama Ri-Jet PO100 series is made of top-coated polyolefin. Importantly, it is PVC-free, which makes it an environmentally friendly choice. This means it doesn't contain polyvinyl chloride, a material often associated with environmental concerns.
-
UV Stabilized: The face film is UV stabilized, which means it can withstand exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light without degrading or fading. This is important for outdoor applications where the material may be exposed to sunlight.
-
External Colour Stability: The film offers external colour stability for up to 3 years. This means that the printed colours on the film will remain vibrant and true to their original appearance for an extended period, even when exposed to outdoor conditions.
-
Ink Compatibility: The Ritrama Ri-Jet PO100 series is compatible with latex and UV-curable inkjet inks. This versatility in ink compatibility allows it to be used with a variety of printing technologies, making it suitable for different types of large format digital printers.
-
Liner Weight: The liner, which is the backing material that supports the self-adhesive film, has a weight of 135 grams per square meter (g/m²). This liner weight ensures good planarity (flatness) and contributes to achieving high-quality printing results.
-
Compliance: All products in the Ritrama Ri-Jet PO100 series are compliant with REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals) and RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) regulations. This means they meet certain environmental and safety standards, which is important for businesses seeking sustainable and eco-friendly printing materials.

Within these Ritrama Digital Media printing guidelines, we cover proper media handling, printing setup, and finishing processes that will help to achieve optimal print quality and performance. These guidelines cover aspects like media profiles, drying times, application techniques, and troubleshooting.
1. Print Preparation:
Media Profiles:
Ensure the correct media profile is installed and selected in your print server. This profile contains information about the printer, RIP, ink, and the specific Ritrama media being used.
Drying:
For solvent printing, films need to be fully dried before applying overlaminates. A 24-hour drying time is generally sufficient for full solvent inks, while 48 hours is recommended for eco-/mild solvent inks. Allow for longer drying if a lot of ink is deposited.
Winding:
When drying, avoid tightly winding the material on a core, as this can hinder solvent evaporation. Loosely wound or stacked sheets are preferred.
2. Printing:
Resolution: For sharp, clear images, a resolution of 300 dpi is recommended.
Colour Matching: Digital printing may have limitations in achieving precise Pantone or specific colour shades.
3. Finishing:
Overlaminates:
If applying overlaminates, ensure the printed material is thoroughly dry to prevent potential issues.
Cutting:
For cutting, ensure the blade is clean and sharp.
Stabilisation:
After curing, allow 4-8 hours for the ink and substrate to stabilize before die-cutting, pre-masking, or chemical resistance testing.
4. Application:
Surface Preparation: Clean the substrate thoroughly before applying the media.
Application Tools: Use a squeegee with overlapping strokes, applying moderate pressure.
Temperature: Avoid applying films in extreme temperatures. If necessary, use a heat gun to gently warm the material during application.
Troubleshooting: If bubbles or wrinkles occur, try using a heat gun to help eliminate them. It may be possible to reposition some products, or push air bubbles out towards the edge of the media.
5. Cleaning and Maintenance:
Cleaning:
Use a gentle cleaning solution (water with a small amount of soap) and a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Pressure Washing:
Use pressure washing with caution, keeping pressure below 1200 psi and water temperature below 120° F.
6. Additional Tips:
Testing:
Thoroughly test all performance characteristics, including print quality, durability, and chemical resistance, before each production run.
