how to install HP Premium Vivid Color Backlit Film

• Prepare your printer settings: select the appropriate backlit media profile, enable any required color management adjustments, and ensure the ink set matches the media recommendations for optimal color and drying performance.
• Feed and load the media: place the 42" x 100' roll onto the media carriage, using proper alignment guides. Ensure the film lies flat and is free of wrinkles or creases before printing to avoid ghosting or misregistration.
• Check substrate and surface: verify that the backlit frame or display surface is clean, dry, and free of dust. A stable mounting surface helps maintain image sharpness and reduces edge curling during display assembly.
• Print and monitor: run a test chart to confirm color balance, density, and sharpness. Observe drying times between passes and adjust speed or temperature settings if necessary to prevent ink bleed or set-off on the display assembly.
• Finish and install: once printing is complete and the ink is fully dry, trim or laminate as required by your installation workflow. Mount the graphics into the backlit frame or display cabinet, ensuring the film is tensioned evenly to prevent sagging or waviness in the lit environment.
• Storage and handling precautions: store unused media vertically in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. When not in use, keep the roll secured to prevent warping, and handle with clean gloves or hands to avoid fingerprint marks on the surface.
