Conversion
Avery MPI 1005 3” Easy Apply is a multi-purpose vinyl, developed for use on various super wide format printers using solvent inks. In Avery Technical Bulletin 5.15, printer compatibility details of Avery MPI media are listed. To enhance colour and protect images against UV radiation and abrasion, Avery MPI 1005 3” Easy Apply is recommended to be protected using an overlaminate or varnish.
In the event of the final graphic being used on corrugated vehicles or substrates, the use of a varnish is recommended. Please note that overlamination of Avery MPI 1005 3” Easy Apply with DOL films will negatively influence the conformability of the total construction.
For recommended combinations of DOL films and media, please refer to "Technical Bulletin 5.3.

- Test methods
More information about our test methods can be found on our website. - Durability
The durability is based on middle European exposure conditions. Actual performance life will depend on substrate preparation, exposure conditions and maintenance of the marking. For instance, in the case of signs facing south; in areas of long high temperature exposure such as southern European countries; in industrially polluted areas or high altitudes, exterior performance will be decreased.
