Product Description
RO628 ROODLE is a 6.0-mil matte white, semi rigid calendared PVC film designed for UV screen, UV-Gel, solvent and eco-solvent ink jet and UV off-set printing. The product is coated on one side with an aggressive removable acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive and supplied with a 90# SuperFlat™ P.E. coated kraft liner. RO628 is specifically designed for use as indoor wall posters and murals on smooth, flat painted drywall surfaces. ROODLE will can also be applied to many other flat surfaces, however we strongly recommend one test first for suitability.

• When applying ROODLE at temperatures below 50°F the semi-rigid vinyl face will become brittle. Therefore special care must be employed during installation to keep it from tearing.
Durability
The outdoor durability of the unprinted film is 4 years. ROODLE has up to 2 year removability after application. Overlamination of the inkjet-printed material with Permacolor® overlaminates delays color fading that may occur over time. This color fading is mainly dependent upon the inks quality (see technical data sheets given by the ink manufacturers) and the pressure sensitive media being used.
Shelf Life
2 years from Date of Manufacture when stored at 60/77°F (15/25°C) and 50% relative humidity in the original package.

To achieve the best possible print quality, please make sure that the correct ICC profiles or printer settings are used. Profiles can be downloaded from www.mactac.com. Printer and heater settings and ICC profiles
can also be downloaded from some O.E.M. or software manufacturer’s websites.
The ICC profiles are provided solely as a customer resource. Print environments, the individual nature of printing systems, inks and software can significantly affect output. It is the customer’s responsibility to determine the suitability of any profile for use in their specific print environment.
Limitations
Due to the wide variability of interior walls, sealants and paints, no claims for successful applications to or removal from painted wall surfaces are made by Mactac. The removability of ROODLE may be affected by the following substrates: polystyrene, nitrocellulose painted surfaces and soft vinyl. With such substrates an increase of adhesion over time may occur and may leave adhesive residue
on removal.
1) The user is responsible for determining the product’s suitability, including adhesion and if needed, removal characteristics when used in applications other than listed specifically in this
Performance Guide.
2) If there are any questions about applications, please contact your Mactac sales representative to discuss your requirements for recommendations.
