Quick answer: MAXDECAL APV80 is a gloss white automotive print vinyl compatible with solvent, eco-solvent, latex and UV printing. This makes it suitable for print shops producing vehicle graphics, fleet branding, race car liveries, signage and POP graphics.
For print shops, compatibility is one of the first questions when selecting printable vinyl. A film may look promising, but it only becomes useful if it works with the shop’s printing equipment and production workflow.
APV80 is designed to support four common print methods: solvent, eco-solvent, latex and UV. This gives graphics producers flexibility across different production environments.
Solvent and eco-solvent printing are common in vehicle graphics and outdoor signage. Latex printing supports modern digital print production. UV printing can be useful where fast curing and process control are required.
After printing, APV80 should be finished with an overlaminate for professional vehicle graphics. VPF100 gloss is the recommended gloss protection film in the APV80 + VPF100 system. VPF100M can be used when a matte finish is preferred.
