Considerations:- Ink Adhesion: Polycarbonate film requires proper surface treatment to enhance
ink adhesion. Pre-treatment methods like corona treatment or
applying an adhesion promoter are often used.
- Compatibility: Ensure that the inks and printing methods are compatible with
polycarbonate to avoid issues like smudging or poor adhesion.
- Environmental Factors: Consider the operating environment, as exposure to UV light or
harsh chemicals can affect the longevity of printed graphics.
