Print service providers compete on quality, turnaround and range. Finishing touches all three. A shop that can coat, laminate and offer removable wall graphics in-house can say yes to more briefs, keep control of deadlines and charge for the added value instead of outsourcing it.
What Landor can supply
- Colourjet coating: a solvent coating that protects prints from water, chemicals and abrasion, with integrated UV inhibitors against premature fading.
- Liquid lamination machines for even, consistent coating in production.
- The Kala Applikator flatbed laminator for flatbed laminating work.
- ClearJet aerosols in gloss and semi-gloss for small jobs and touch-ups.
- Phototex printable self-adhesive woven fabric for removable, reusable wall graphics.
- Large format printers and RIPs, backed by more than 20 years of supply and installation experience.
Markets that coating opens up
Landor Liquid Lamination is used on artworks, promotions, retail displays, photography, wallpapers, signage and branding, indoors and outdoors. For a PSP, that translates into more work you can take on confidently: wallcoverings for interior designers, unglazed canvas for galleries, durable retail graphics, and outdoor signage that keeps its colour longer. It suits prints from pigment fine art, latex, UV and eco-solvent printers, so it can sit alongside most mixed fleets.
Removable graphics without installation crews
Many clients want wall graphics but balk at the cost of specialist installers. Phototex is easy to install, can be repositioned, and removes in one piece without surface damage, with no edge curl or peeling. That makes it practical to sell graphics that clients fit themselves, which is attractive for offices, retail and rented properties.
Introducing coating to your workflow
A few things help coating bed in smoothly:
- Build a library of tested media and ink combinations; solvent coatings do not suit every substrate.
- Allow space for prints to dry fully before cutting, packing or installing.
- Make sure the coating area is clean and well ventilated.
- Train staff on consistent application, especially if coating by hand.
