LG Chem does not warrant banner materials for the following.
- Seamed in order to make a larger banner
- Ripping, tearing, or damage due to the effects of the weather or the environment.
CAUTION: The weather resistance of the film that is laminated to the top of BANNUX or the ink used in printing may contribute to the durability of the end-products. Therefore, our warranty is just for undecorated BANNUX.
Maintenance
Use a cleaner used for high quality printed surfaces.
- The cleaner must be wet, non-abrasive, and without strong solvents or alcohol. (Solvent and alcohol can damage banner materials and printed images.)
- The cleaner must not be either strongly acidic or alkaline (pH value 3.0~11.0).
Shelf Life

Printing on Materials
- VIZUON BANNUX UGS (UMS) is designed for digital printing with solvent inkjet inks.
- To get the best print results, use the best quality of inks that the printer makers recommend.
- The printer operator should work with the graphic designer or color conversion operator to prevent possible complications or color issues.
- Do not exceed total ink coverage of 250% for VIZUON BANNUX materials.
Too high of an ink level on banner materials may result in media characteristic changes, inadequate drying, and/or poor print quality. - Printing should be done under room temperature.
- Too much tension and force may damage the material; therefore, keep the tension under 7 kgf.
