Printing Notes for Magnetized Sheet

Cleaning: Not Needed! Do not clean the surface of GreenMAG™ with alcohol or any other solvent before printing. It is ready to accept UV, latex, or eco-solv inks right out of the box. Since it does not have a 4 mil vinyl laminate, GreenMAG™ will feel more flexible and thinner than vinyl, but it still has the same, strong magnetic base.

Magnets and Presses: Before running pre-magnetized GreenMAG™ on wide format inkjet printers, we recommend that you cover any steel sections in the infeed that the magnet passes over. Cover with 10 pt card stock to prevent direct contact and sticking, as shown in the picture below.

Heat Cure Restrictions: Some wide format inks need heat to dry quickly. Because the heavy magnetic base acts as a heat sink, the tendency may be to increase the heat setting to dry the ink. This may cause the magnetic base to soften, and the heavy weight of the stock may cause it to stretch. It is best just to use lower heat and allow the ink more time to air dry.

Adams GreenMAG™ - a printable recyclable magnet up to 40" wide!

A durable printable coating is applied directly to our magnet sheet, eliminating the need for a laminated print surface. This makes it completely recyclable. Send it back to us and we’ll use it to make more GeenMAG™!

We are delighted to share our 2018 catalog with you. We've added updated information about our fabrication capabilities, available in Elmhurst, IL and Carlsbad, CA. We've also added new neodymium holding assemblies, a MAGbond Magnetic Media System overview, and high energy wide-format magnetic sheet (40" wide and still printable!). If you'd prefer to receive a hard copy of this catalog, let us know.

ClingMAG™ combines two separate holding technologies, magnetic holding force, and micro-suction holding force to produce a thinner and lighter magnet that addresses potential challenges with magnet signage. The micro-suction silicon layer on the back helps to reduce magnet particle migration
while it increases the holding force of the magnet, keeping it from sliding.
