Ideal for building wraps, new Black Back Mesh Banner, an Agfa Graphics exclusive, can save users up to $0.30 per square foot 

Elmwood Park, NJ – You’ve been in buildings that are wrapped before. It’s hard to see outside through the white mesh banner material that is commonly used. That’s all about to change thanks to the new Duratex Black Back Mesh Banner, an Agfa Graphics exclusive. The Duratex Black Back Mesh Banner, part of the expanded Duratex line of wide-format media, makes its North America debut at  the Agfa Graphics booth (#1335) at Sign Expo, being held at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, FL, from April 21–23.

Duratex Black Back Mesh Banner is ideal for indoor and outdoor signage and displays, front-lit signage, building signs, window graphics and trade show displays. It gives people who are inside wrapped buildings, for example, the ability to see through the black back-side of the mesh much more easily than if they were looking through a more common white mesh. For the print service provider and their customers, Duratex Black Back Mesh Banner saves a printer a great deal of press time and provides ink savings up to $0.30 per square foot.

“A print service provider would typically flood-coat the backside of an all-white mesh to create a black back effect would greatly benefit in ink savings alone with our new Duratex Black Back Mesh Banner,” said Gary York, Wide-Format Specialist, Agfa Graphics. “Another example is displays in which Duratex Black Back Mesh Banner is printed on with white ink and other colors, thereby saving the expense of flood coating black ink on white mesh. Duratex Black Back Mesh Banner could also be used for very inexpensive window graphics. With the most inexpensive window perf over $.50 per square foot, at $.26 per square foot, Duratex Black Back Mesh Banner offers considerable savings.”

Duratex Black Back Mesh Banner is available in three roll sizes (98”x164’, 126”x164’ and 196”x164’) and is compatible with most solvent, eco-solvent, latex and UV curable inkjet printers. 

The Agfa Graphics booth (#1335) will have Duratex Black Back Mesh Banner samples on display while spotlighting many wide-format printing engines and workflow in at Sign Expo, being held at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, FL, from April 21–23.
