Primer:
Autotex® Brushed has an ink adhesion primer on the second surface. This primer confers excellent adhesion to a wide range of graphic inks and is protected with a removable laminate as standard.
A protective laminate is applied to the ink primer surface and should be removed before printing.

Windows:
Autotex® Brushed can be screen printed with Windotex™ to obtain a clear window.   For optimum printing recommendations please refer to the specific Autotex® Brushed section on the Windotex™ product data sheet.

Outdoor use:
Autotex® Brushed has limited long term resistance to UV light and therefore is not recommended for long term use outdoors. In order to overcome this issue, MacDermid Autotype has specially developed Autotex® XE, a UV resistant version of Autotex®
