Whatcha know about 3M Print Film 40C-10R that replaced IJ40C

[trakers]

Been using IJ35C and IJ40C with good results. Went to order IJ40C yesterday and told discontinued and replaced with 3M Controltac Print Film 40C-10R and 40C-20R.

The one attribute I hated about the IJ35 and IJ40 was the super aggressive adhesive that, at least I, could not snap up once it was down.

3M tells me this new film has both Comply and Controltac. Does Controltac actually work as advertised?

Thoughts or anyone who is using the new film.

Its the same thing... just now they have a designation for Gloss and Matte.

If you want a product that works really well in comparison to IJ40, try ARLONs new 4600LX... its way better, at least in my opinion!

Played with it at the SGIA show, Works as advertised in a consistent temp/show setting but haven't ordered yet so let us know.

still have tons of IJ40C, but was told by 3M that the 10R is easier to apply. I'm hoping the newer version doesn't smell as bad (to me) when traveling over the heaters!

It slides like a dream, but not everyone's shop is exactly 70 degrees with 0% humidity....

Def not the same aggressive initial tack as IJ40.

Adhesive pattern is different and just looks like squares with lines in between.

Adhesive seems thinner too.

More after I laminate and apply some.

Hey Santa if you're listening.... can you start offering IJI80cv3 in matte finish so we can all print faster?

Can I have an AMEN!!!!!
