Wide Format Roll Media – FAQs
What is wide format roll media used for?
Creating vehicle wraps, window graphics, wall murals, floor decals, and outdoor signage on large-format printers. Rolls allow fast feeding and precision cutting.
Can I use these films outdoors?
Yes. Many vinyls and films are engineered for UV and weather resistance. Check each product’s warranty and outdoor durability rating.
Which printers are compatible?
Most products support solvent, eco-solvent, latex, and UV inks. Always verify compatibility on the product detail page.
Do I need a laminate?
For abrasion, chemicals, or extended UV exposure, add a matching laminate (e.g., Avery Dennison DOL). Floor graphics often require slip-resistant options.
