Over the past month this series covered why colored PPF delaminates, the three film structures on the market, plasticizers, and the aliphatic-vs-aromatic question. Here it all is, condensed into seven questions. Print them, paste them into an email, ask them on a call — a supplier’s reaction to this list tells you as much as […]

Orange peel texture is one of the most common complaints with printable base films: it scatters light, dulls fine detail, and shows through […]
