INTELICOAT TECHNOLOGIES INTRODUCES NEW MAGIC® CLEARTAK MOUNTING FILM
Magic® CLEARTAK Provides Superior Optical Clarity and Dual Adhesive Surfaces
SOUTH HADLEY, Mass, September 24, 2003 InteliCoat Technologies, a world leader in the manufacture of coated paper, film and specialty substrates for imaging and electronic technologies, today announced the availability of new Magic® CLEARTAK mounting film. A breakthrough adhesive-only product in the Magic line, this optically clear film provides image protection and can be used with most wide format water-based ink jet printers, using either dye or pigment ink, and with solvent ink jet printers.
Coated matte paper and a variety of films (clear display, backlit, backprint and polypropylene) can be combined with CLEARTAK to mount images to surfaces such as coolers, windows and Plexiglas®. The product features a high-tack and low-tack adhesive on opposing sides of a thin polyester separator. The high-tack side is applied to the image side of the media, and the low-tack side is applied to the mounting surface with a squeegee or a roller. The adhesive, combined with a very low 7.5% haze rating, results in a unique product that is the first of its kind
“CLEARTAK is extremely versatile, and can be used with just about any other type of product, giving printers a lot of creative freedom,” said InteliCoat product manager Ed McCarron. “Virtually any media product can become adhesive-backed on an on-demand basis, reducing both inventory and costs for print sites. That versatility, combined with its exceptional level of optical clarity, makes CLEARTAK a very valuable product to have.”
Magic CLEARTAK exhibits excellent water resistance when printed with pigmented inks and offers superior durability when used with the right combination of inks and media.

Magic CLEARTAK
- 8.5” x 11”
- 15” x 30’
