MATERIALS / NEWS SignLink SignLinkMagazine printmonthly_signlink 15 www.signlink.co.uk Issue 260 - August / September 2025 Digidelta, a manufacturer of digital printing, visual communication, and textile materials, has announced the worldwide availability of Decal Dot Matrix, a 100-micron self-adhesive monomeric vinyl for use in short-term indoor applications. Dot Matrix is the latest vinyl product within the Decal range, which was first launched by Digidelta in 2009. It has been designed chiefly for promotional graphics, allowing users of all capabilities to install printed graphics on flat, smooth, and non-porous surfaces. With reported durability of up to six months, the vinyl is suited for use across public and commercial spaces, events, exhibitions, and point-of-sale (POS). The ‘bubble-free’ dot matrixstyle adhesive aims to enable faster and simpler installation and repositioning, eliminating common vinyl issues such as wrinkling and bubbling. According to Digidelta, the adhesive also allows users to reposition the material several times without leaving residue, achieving a professional finish even on mirror-like surfaces. The product also features a double layer of PE liner, which protects the vinyl from humidity, thus reducing issues such as waving and curling during printing, finishing, and installation. Decal Dot Matrix, which is compatible with solvent, latex, and UV printing technologies, was developed in-house by Digidelta, which has more than 40 years of experience in the market. According to Digidelta, this experience allowed them to retain strict control and oversight over production, with the company on hand to ensure that its materials meet a high quality of standards.

Compatible with both dye-sublimation direct-to-fabric (DTF) and transfer applications, the material is reported to have minimal shrinkage and warp at less than 2%.
