Water resistant banner media from Kodak is a scrim-reinforced vinyl built for durable, high impact graphics. The scratch and water resistant surface, bright white point, and excellent color fidelity make it a strong choice for production banners that need to handle real-world use and still look sharp.
Water resistant banner media is a must when you need banners that can handle handling, installation, and everyday wear without sacrificing print quality. KODAK Water-Resistant Scrim Banner is a scrim-reinforced vinyl designed to create spectacular, high impact, cost-effective graphics that stand up to real-world use. The surface is both scratch and water resistant, and Kodak highlights a high white point that helps printed graphics look cleaner and more vibrant on a banner substrate.
This banner material is built for production efficiency. The durable scrim reinforcement improves tear resistance and helps the media hold up during finishing, transport, and installation. Kodak also notes that the media provides easier handling, helping print shops compete for high-volume banner jobs with a balance of economy and quality. If you are producing banners for promotions, events, and retail messaging, this water resistant banner material supports bold color fidelity and dependable performance.
KODAK Water-Resistant Scrim Banner is compatible with both thermal and piezo inkjet printing technologies using water-based dye and pigment inks, making it a practical option for a wide range of inkjet systems. When additional protection is needed, pressure sensitive vinyl laminates with UV inhibitors can be applied to increase fade and abrasion resistance. For best results before laminating, allow prints to dry for 24 hours.

Software Setting |
When using this material with Encad GO inks, utilize the UCR (Under Color Removal) technique that replaces composite black (CMY) with the appropriate amount of black ink. To optimize print quality, printers should be set for the highest print quality and media selection should be set on “heavy coated.” Ink coverage up to 250% is recommended. |
| Color Matching | For the best and most consistent results, a profile should be created using an external color calibrator in con- junction with your RIP and color matching software. |
|
Lightfastness |
The fading time of inkjet ink is a direct result of the inks that you choose to use and the environment where the print is displayed. All dye-based inks fade noticeably under direct sunlight, in interior applications where direct sunlight may fall on an image, and/or where fluorescent or other UV lighting is present. Although the fading process is inherent with all inkjet inks, certain UV enhanced inks, pigment-based inks, and UV inhibiting laminates will extend the longevity of an image. Contact the ink manufacturer to determine suitability for a particular application. |
|
Finishing/Post Processing |
Pressure sensitive vinyl laminates with UV inhibitors can be applied to increase the fade and abrasion resis- tance of the image. Polyester or other base material laminates are not recommended. Before applying the laminate, allow the image to dry for 24 hours. |
