Arlon Graphics is excited to announce the launch of our new training website www.wrapitright.com. WrapItRight.com is a compilation of expert
methods for working with graphic films through "how-to" videos. The videos cover topics in areas where installers regularly struggle. Through
these videos Arlon provides TIPS to help educate our customers to perform installations the right way from the first time.
"When it comes to the graphics business, best practices are too often determined by the trial and error of past project methods. Learning from
experience is incredibly valuable, but it can also be very costly. Our industry continues to grow and change, making success in new markets
with new applications even more important. Wrapitright.com aims to set you up for future success by giving you knowledge on how to best work
with sign and graphic films. It is our intention to take what we have learned throughout our 50+ years in business and share it with our industry,"

Arlon Announces the Release of a New Economical 5-Yard Package
for Series 2100 HP in 15” Punched and 24” Unpunched Widths
Arlon announces the release of a new economical 5-yard roll package for Series 2100, cast film in 15” punched
and 24” unpunched widths. With the tight economy, small and medium sign shops are starting to shy away from
buying 50-yard rolls of colored cast film; especially outside the standard white, red, blue, and black fast movers
that most shops use everyday. According to Arlon’s research, signs and banners are often restricted to those
‘fast mover’ colors or digital printing with a trade-off in creativity or in warranty life. To meet this trend head on,
Arlon will offer these short rolls in 83 colors at the same sq.-ft. price as larger rolls.
“This package is the right solution for today’s economy,” states Ron Hopkins, Arlon President. “It enables sign
shops to maintain color creativity while keeping inventories at a bare minimum. Our distributor channel partners
will appreciate it too, and due to the low investment requirement, they will be able to avoid backorders and keep
the full range of colors always available for their sign shop customers.”

products and allow more small sign shops to experience their benefits."

release creating superior weeding and stripping characteristics, and the translucent backing facilitates multi-
color registration. Synthetic liner is available for new custom colors through Arlon’s color-matching program,
providing customers the additional flexibility for special corporate identity or specification programs.

Arlon Digital Print Media offers the versatility needed for today’s
applications
Santa Ana, CA. - March 24, 2006- Today most sign and service bureau’s use large-format digital-printing
processes to produce murals. While billboard products and mesh materials are often the preferred substrates
for sides of buildings, enhancing the look of constructions sites and barricades present unique challenges.
There are several requirements for a successful mural. The media must print well, withstand environmental
elements for a substantial length of time, and adhere to various paints and textured surfaces. The media should
have a compatible overlaminate to protect from increased dust and potential abrasion without causing edge curl.
The combination of the products must be easy enough to install and have great adhesive holding power without
the added cost of application tape.
These large visual images were displayed by Victory Park in Dallas, Texas to beautify this construction zone for the
downtown area. The images were printed by AJ Bart, Inc. in Texas, on Arlon’s DPF 4000 engineering grade print
film. Suitable for long-term outdoor use, DPF 4000 offers the best overall performance for graphics produced with
solvent based inkjet printers. The 3.8-mil engineered calendered film is specially formulated to accept high ink
coverage for vibrant colors and good image quality. Adding the printing features to the all-purpose, permanent
adhesive makes it the printer’s choice. DPF 4000 has a firmer handling characteristic for ease of installation, and
offers outdoor durability up to 7 years unprinted. To ensure greater durability for this longer-term application,
Arlon's 3420 overlaminate could be used to increase UV and abrasion resistance, as well as anti-graffiti protection.
Installed in May 2005, these life size graphics are anticipated to offer aesthetic value to the barricade building
materials.
