MACtac® Releases 2003 Product Catalog: Publication highlights product additions, stable pricing

Stow, Ohio ­ Spring 2003 ­ The more things change, the more they stay the same. This could be the theme of the MACtac® Graphic and Distributor 2003 Product Catalog for the North American market.

According to Rich Turner, MACtac’s sign business manager, the catalog had to offer two things: new products and stable prices. “It’s important to show that we listen to our customers. We added products designed to meet their evolving challenges, yet maintained the price consistency they rely on.”

The additions.

Among the new products to be introduced in 2003:

Two IMAGin® 1000 Series water-based inkjet vinyls. Both are matte white vinyls, but contain different adhesives: JT1848R a removable, JT1948P a permanent. Formulated for digital imaging media, the MACtac IMAGin 1000 Series is highly receptive to ink, water-resistant and designed for producing colorful graphic images.

MACtac will also introduce 2-meter wide vinyls into its IMAGin 5000 Series for solvent inkjet printers.

The MACtac Permacolor® product line will add IP4000, an optically-clear free film and IP9000, a 10-mil rigid backer. The pressure sensitive mounting and overlaminating products are designed to enhance and protect graphic images and are ideal for use with photographic, inkjet, electrostatic, lithographic and screen-printed images.

New Thermacolor® products include TL6100, a 10-mil textured vinyl used for overlaminating images that are frequently rolled and transported (tradeshow graphics, exhibits, etc.); 3-mil matte finished laminates; and 5- and 10-mil light block featuring an opaque adhesive.

The MACmount®, MACbond® and MACfilm® families, as well as GS Series, now complement the traditional Graphic Products offering. These products are designed for use in fabrication and assembly of exhibit and display pieces.

The MACmark® product line will expand its line of MACtransfer® tapes, clear polyethylene application tapes used in signage applications. MACtransfer 230 is now available as a medium-tack tape, while MACtransfer 210, a medium-tack, large-format tape, will be offered in three additional widths of 48, 54 and 60 inches.
