Product Usage and Processing Recommendations: Processing temperature maximum: 160°F (70°C) 1. We do not recommend that this product be processed in dryers or UV curing units under excessive heat. Temperatures above 160°F may cause the diffraction pattern to become distorted. 2. Caution: Higher boiling solvents found in some printing inks can cause vinyls to distort. Please note: DESIGN510 pattern repeats every six inches (150mm), and the RAINBOW, MOSAIC, and KSCOPE patterns repeat every nine inches (230mm) in both the machine and transverse directions. The repeat is defined by a seam line. Sheet size determines where seams will be located on converted materials.
