ThinFORCE™ Provides Thinner, Stronger Magnetic Sheeting

Master Magnetics, Inc.

Supplies

Engineered for both indoor and outdoor applications, ThinFORCE™ high-energy sheeting provides exceptional magnetic strength in a thinner and lighter magnetic material.

ThinFORCE™ prints with brilliant high-resolution color and clarity, and cuts easily on router and plotter systems. The material is ideal for magnetic vehicle graphics, retail POP displays, wall coverings and other applications where lightweight printable magnetic sheeting is needed.

Industry standards require 30 mil thickness of regular-strength flexible magnet for vehicle signs. ThinFORCE™ provides the same strength in half the thickness. Printers with head height limitations can benefit from the time and cost savings of printing direct to magnet. These savings may open new streams of business or enhance current profitability of any ongoing magnetic vehicle sign business operations.

Additionally, the lighter weight of ThinFORCE™, nearly half in comparison to similar widths and lengths of 30-mil magnetic sheeting, provides significant savings on shipping, and makes it easier to handle while loading, unloading, and feeding through the printer.

Designed for printing with UV, solvent, eco-solvent and latex ink systems, ThinFORCE™ is available in standard sizes of 24” and 48” widths, and up to 50-foot lengths. Custom cutting and slitting are available.

CNC Routers: Optimizing cutting and avoiding pitfalls

A computer numerical control (CNC) router is one of the most expensive investments a sign shop can make. A thorough process of due diligence is essential before purchasing, as a number of issues could otherwise result in unnecessary costs and a loss of time and materials.

The evolution of solvent-based inkjet printing

Solvent-based inkjet printing has long been the sign industry’s ‘go-to’ technology for the production of display graphics, vehicle wraps and many other wide-format applications. While it is no longer new to the industry, it has maintained its relevancy even as other options have gained mainstream acceptance, such as ultraviolet-curing...

Spectra Advertising: From hand painting to digital printing

A family-owned sign business, Spectra Advertising was founded by Robert and Tony Ascenzi in the early 1990s, who started out by hand painting billboards.

Wide-format Printing: Ink options for fabrics, soft signage and interior décor

In the wide-format digital printing industry, the term ‘textile’ has been used to encompass a variety of applications, materials and processes, including wearables, soft signage, interior décor, environmental graphics and other applications using dye sublimation, direct-to-fabric printing or another transfer process.
