Arlon Inc. (Santa Ana, CA) is launching DPF 4570GTX, a 4-mil, digitally printable, glossy, white, calendered film. The material features the company’s X-scape air-release technology to facilitate installation, and, according to the company, its heavier facestock makes it easier to install without an overlaminate. The glossy finish reportedly yields more vivid colors, and its tinted adhesive provides opacity, which conceals dark substrates or previously installed graphics.
