Latex inks have been shown to have increased durability over solvent banners. Pigmented inks still have the best resolution, and solvent inks are more flexible for several applications.
Durability is also something to be considered. Graphic Impact defines durability as the ability to withstand “wear and tear” from different sources of potential damage to the banner prints. This damage can be due to sun fade due to exposure and ozone in the air. Additionally, latex sits on top of the banner, whereas solvent inks penetrate the vinyl, causing damage. Our custom vinyl banners, printed with latex inks, address environmental and health concerns from when a banner is printed to the time it is disposed of.
