A traditional problem with sublimation printing has been the issue of fading and loss of color vibrancy due to exposure to UV (UltraViolet) light. Sublimation inks are made from dyes instead of pigments, and are prone to fade faster. This has generally limited the use of digitally decorated substrates in commercial design and architectural décor.
Digi Coat UV Protect is the first product designed for use in the sublimation transfer market to protect images from ultraviolet light fade. Digi Coat UV Protect contains two types of UV inhibitors which both absorb and deflect UV light, giving the maximum possible protection to sublimation inks. In addition, Digi Coat UV Protect is also designed to be non-sublimatable, giving permanence to your sublimated image never before possible.

While no product can ever completely eliminate color fading due to the effects of ultraviolet light, Digi Coat UV Protect has had extensive comparison testing against uncoated sublimated tiles and the results provide a substantial improvement.

Digi Coat UV Protect is designed to work in conjunction with the Digi Coat line of coatings and is a simple to apply 1 part air curing coating.
