ENCAD VinylJet 36 User manual

NO SOLVENTS. NO VENTS. NO HASSLES.
There’s never been a printer like it. The VinylJet 36 AquaVinyl™Technology (AVT) uses a unique curing
system with water-based inks to produce UV-durable, water-resistant and eye-popping images directly on
uncoated/untreated vinyl. The AquaVinyl Ink has 85% fewer VOCs (volatile organic compounds) than
solvent inks. So unlike other “low-solvent” or “ecosolvent” printers, the VinylJet 36 requires no special
ventilation*.
DIRECT-TO-VINYL MEANS MORE PROFIT DIRECT-TO-YOU.
Using uncoated/untreated vinyl lowers media costs while a new print head with every ink kit reduces
printer maintenance. Low-cost ink and uncoated media make it the lowest cost-per-print in this
category. So say good bye to vinyl outsourcing and vinyl cutters. The VinylJet 36 is perfect for
anyone that runs up to 35,000 sq. ft. of vinyl per year.
UNBELIEVABLE COLOR. UNMATCHED DURABILITY. UNCOATED VINYL.
The new, infrared-curable AquaVinyl Ink offers better color than solvent alternatives. No longer
do you need to be constrained by the limitations of vinyl-cut letters – now you have a whole new
world of color to explore. And using untreated vinyl with our AquaVinyl Ink gives you great color
without compromising durability.
GUARANTEED OUTDOOR PERFORMANCE.
By using infrared curing on inexpensive vinyl with our specially-formulated water-based
ink, the revolutionary AquaVinyl Technology (AVT ) provides a durable outdoor solution
at an entry-level price. Our partnerships with vinyl manufacturing leaders mean the
VinylJet 36’s unlaminated output is water resistant, UV durable and backed by our
outdoor guarantee up to three years.
There’s never been a better time to capitalize on outdoor printing.

*Does not require special ventilation beyond normal workplace requirements recommended by OSHA
(Occupational Safety and Health Administration).
Revolutionary AquaVinyl Technology
(AVT) preheats the vinyl for optimal ink
reception. Once the ink is printed onto
the vinyl substrate, an infrared curing
system creates an impermeable bond for
colorful, long-lasting outdoor signage.
