Adhesion and fit problems with Duraflex panels
I just got some replacement pop-up display graphics from a vendor for a client's booth and these things are a Lambda print on Duraflex. I'm not sure what happened because they are perfectly sized but will not magnetically adhere right to the frame. Anyone who has ever put a Skyline or Nimlok type pop up together knows that familiar "snap" as the opposite polarized magnets on the graphics grab the ones on the framing uprights. We've cleaned everything diligently, put the old graphics back up (which fit perfectly and despite their age and heavy usage have that familiar "snap" and graceful curve when all the panels are in place.
With these type graphics, the "A" and "B" polarity magnets are impossible to mix up, so we are at a loss for why these things are so stiff and just won't grab each other.
The new material is both thinner, but also far more rigid than the old prints which were the "old school" lambda print on paper mounted to clear polycarbonate and backed up with matte black blockout material. The end pieces which are meant to form the curved ends won't adhere AT All.
Has anyone else had problems with getting this type of replacement graphics?
I'm not even sure what to do to resolve the issue. I suppose I could ship the frame itself to the vendor and let them have a go at it until its right.
