Recommendations for use
Indoor - and short/medium term outdoor applications on internally illuminated signs. The uniform light distribution will enhance your ink jet printed image and give it an extra bright touch.
IPM media should be handled with care as any surface contamination may affect the print quality. Media should be processed in an environment of 15-25°C and 30-70% relative humidity. Finished prints should be wrapped in polyethylene film and despatched flat or rolled with the printed side facing outwards. To protect prints against water, UV/light and abrasion, overlamination with a clear film is recommended. For specific details of Avery® DOL combinations, refer to "Technical Bulletin 5.3. Recommended combinations of Avery® Overlaminates and Avery® Digital Print Media" Always test your combination of Avery® IPM™ medium, inkjet printer and inks prior to commercial use.
Compatibility
Avery® IPM™ 2150 is compatible with a broad selection of inkjet printers, when printing with pigmented, water based inks. For specific details refer to "Technical Bulletin 5.6 Avery Dennison Inkjet Print Media - Printer compatibility".
Durability
Avery® IPM™ 2150 is warranted for outdoor use in conjunction with pigmented outdoor inks from HP, Encad and Colorspan. The warranted period varies from type of application and type of overlaminate from 18 months up to 2 years. For full details, see our Avery® IPM™ Outdoor warranty.

- 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.
