Outdoor Applications

Outdoor exposure, including exposure to ultraviolet radiation, moisture, oxidation, and chemical pollutants all influence the final outdoor longevity of a graphic image. Kodak guarantees that the effects of those exposures will not affect the quality and suitability of the graphic image print, based on accepted industry test standards, for advertising purposes and other customary outdoor display uses. Specifically, Kodak guarantees prints from the systems below against excessive fading, peeling, cracking, yellowing, bleeding, and running for the periods stated below. PLEXIGLAS™, LEXAN™, or a similar sheet must protect prints, and light box illumination is expected to not exceed 5000-lux fluorescent.
