William Smith has introduced two new graphic films to the UK market: the Arlon 6000RP and Arlon 6000XP. Meanwhile, 3M Commercial Graphics has announced the launch of its latest low-cost vehicle wrap, the memorably named Controltac Graphic Film with Comply Version 3 Adhesive IK170Cv3.
The Arlon 6000RP and 6000XP are specifically designed to provide high-quality results on surfaces that are contoured, curved or riveted, but the graphic films can be just as easily applied to flat surfaces. Although unsuitable for use over deep recesses, the Arlon 6000RP and 6000XP provide sign-makers with the opportunity to produce detailed designs on intricate, complex surfaces. The new Arlon products, which feature a pressure-sensitive permanent adhesive, are ideal for use on modern vehicles.
3M Commercial Graphics’ latest offering was also designed with vehicles in mind, but caters specifically to the low-budget market. The Controltac Graphic Film with Comply Version 3 Adhesive IK170Cv3 is notable for its lack of curing time, so graphics can be applied to cars, vans and other vehicles with minimal effort and downtime.
Here at The Sussex Sign Company, we welcome the addition of the new graphics films, which ought to make the process of bringing ideas to life on vehicles and other complex objects and surfaces far less taxing and expensive.
