For Film Companies:

Whats the best way to install big sheets of IGX graphics?

We have found the best way to install big sheets of IGX graphics is to handle them as you would large sheet of very thick film (10-14 mil). Have two installers. One to hold the transfer tape (film side) one to peel the liner. Using IGX Mounting Solution preferably in a 3 gallon sprayer flood the glass and the film. Then carefully position the film on the glass and move until lined up correctly. Spray outside of the transfer tape side with the IGX Mounting Solution and lightly push out the water using a window cleaning squeegee. When you are sure that there are no air pockets under the film spray the tape again and this time using a yellow polyurethane squeegee, more aggressively pull the water out. Spray one more time and begin peeling back the transfer tape.

What should I do if the IGX Graphics keep lifting from the glass?

Make sure that you are using IGX Mounting Solution 1 gallon to 2 gallons of water. If it is still lifting add 1 cup of Rubbing Alcohol. If still lifting let sit on the glass for ten minutes and then spray tape again.

What is the process to get IGX Graphics?

If we are making a custom design, we will take your art work, make it ready for production, send you a proof for approva,l take a deposit/credit card and then run production. If we already have you and your art work on file then proof approval and deposit are all that are required to run production.

Vector art is preferred, though we can also work with high resolution raster images. Vector art should be saved as Illustrator 9 or 3 compatible EPS file. Adobe PDF files are fine. Raster art should be saved as TIF without LZW compression. If they are too large for email, please contact us and we will let you know where you can send it using FTP.
