Inkjet White Ultra Cling.

Ultra Cling Vinyl

Ultra cling can be used on almost any substrate where as Static Cling must be used on glass or glossy finished items only. Papilio Ultra Cling has one side coated with inkjet coating and the other side coated with a special cling substance that uses special “micro-spear technology” to CLING to substrates. This technology is similar to regular adhesive but when it is time to remove the label it can be peeled safely off almost any substrate. This media is in fact similar to our Removable Waterproof Vinyl but is more advanced and safer on delicate substrates than the ultra low peel adhesive.

The Ultra Cling is now available in clear and white for both Laser and Inkjet printers. Please note that media designed for use in Inkjet printers will NOT be safe for use in a Laser printer and media designed for use in a Laser printer will in most cases NOT work at all in an Inkjet printer. So make sure you select the correct media for your printer type.
 

If ultra cling media is to be used indoors where steam or moisture is present then the artwork must be protected with clear spray after printing. For Car windows we strongly recommend the UCF media.
To extend UV resistant of Inkjet media, HPS offers over laminates with a built in UV barrier, in both aerosol and sheet forms.

Ultra Cling Vinyl is our Original Ultra Cling Media. This media is ideal for any application that will not accept static cling. See more general info on our ultra cling below.

For Car windows we strongly recommend our CLEAR ULTRA CLING media as static cling can sometimes fall off glass surfaces that are subjected to radical temperature changes. The UCF (Ultra Cling Film) works in the same way as the static cling but it has a next generation micro spear coating that clings to more types of substrates than static cling.

The UCF film is intended for indoor use only but may be used temporarily outdoors if laminated using a over laminate spray or sheet.
(We recommend Papilio Aerosol Fixative, Krylon Crystal Clear Acrylic Spray, or Rustoleum Oil Enamel Spray)

Printing:

Note: Some of points in the instructions below refer to the Clear Ultra Cling.

1) Copy/Print on to the coated side of the media using compatible printer.
2) To prevent a paper jam, make sure the sheet is not bent or warped or the corners folded BEFORE loading. Loading by hand ONE SHEET at a time is the way to make sure it loads correctly. For this media it is important to select the correct printer driver setting. In general the transparency setting or glossy photo film setting (not paper) will work best. Depending on the Inkjet printer and ink used the label may be ready for use in as little as a few minutes. In some cases you may have to allow the ink to dry for several hours or even over night. Some universal refill inks may NOT work with this media.
Mounting:
1) When mounting this label to any surface, clean the substrate and remove residual grease, soot or dust. This media uses a new type of tacky film (micro spears) to adhere to most substrates even cardboard, wallpaper, smooth wood etc.
2) Peel the film GENTLY off of the supporting paper in such a way that you avoid stretching the media.
3) Line up your label. When the position looks correct, let the label make contact with the surface on one edge and work down the rest of the surface using your fingers. Do not use excessive pressure when working the label in this fashion because you may smudge the ink.
Tip: To make Ultra cling labels for automobile windows or when you want the label to be visible from the other side of a window or glass door. Follow the steps here above with two exceptions. Note: You must be using the CLEAR Ultra Cling. A) Print mirror image B) Spray the whole sheet with WHITE acrylic paint when the ink is dry. C) Let the paint dry. D) Follow mounting instructions above.

For Car window we strongly recommend the UCF media as static cling can sometimes fall off glass surfaces that are subjected to radical temperature change, such as car windows. The UCF (Ultra Cling Film works in the same way as the static cling but has new generation micro spear tack coating that cling to the glass.
You can spray the label before you apply it (after printing) to prevent over spray. Fixative spray is available in most craft stores or you can use spray sold in most automotive parts stores. Using clear spray as the only protection will offer limited water proofing. If the label is to be used outdoors we recommend using our WOL over laminate together with the spray.
Using any of our inkjet media inside an automobile should be considered an outdoor use because of moisture and extreme temperature changes.

If this media is to be used indoors where steam or moisture is present then the artwork once printed must be protected with clear spray. For Car windows we strongly recommend the UCF media.
To extend UV resistant of Inkjet media HPS offers over laminate with built in UV barrier.
