In the printing and sign building business, the most commonly thought of use of magnets is in the flexible form to create magnetic vehicle signs, calendars, menus, business cards and more. The process has evolved from a two-step process of printing on vinyl or another substrate and laminating to the magnet, to the simpler and faster process of printing direct to the magnet. This is, and always will be, a profitable and valuable service that you can provide your customers.
在印刷和建筑标识业务中，经常使用磁铁工具来制作带有磁性材料的标识，这种灵活的方式还用在一些日历、菜单、名片上。其原理是将一种将乙烯基材料印刷到另一种基底上，与磁体层压的过程，这种方式不仅简单并且效率高，同时还是一个有价值的服务。
However, in addition to flexible material for signs and graphic displays, magnets have other forms and functions that you can take advantage of. From flexible magnetic sheeting to rare-earth discs, to magnetic hooks and sign holders, magnets are easily repositionable, reusable, have permanent power and are available in a wide selection of styles and pull-strengths.
然而，除了用于标识和图形显示的柔性材料之外，磁性工具还具有其他的功能。从灵活的磁性片到稀土圆盘、磁性钩和标识架，磁性工具可重复使用，具有永久的动力和拉力，并且可以采用多种风格配以使用。
In all forms, magnets can be the most efficient and effective solution for graphics, holding and fastening or for tools to help you do your work.

磁性产品可以帮助您扩大或者开拓新的业务渠道。专业承包商、房地产商、餐馆、医疗机构、学校、体育俱乐部和组织等，这些领域都可以使用到带有磁性材料的标识。
You can print direct to flexible magnetic sheeting material with solvent, eco-solvent, UV-cure, latex and aqueous ink systems.
您可以使用溶剂、环保溶剂、UV固化胶乳和水性油墨系统直接打印到灵活的磁性材料上。
Different manufacturers of magnetic sheeting offer different formulas for their printable surfaces. Your magnetic material selection for printing and thickness will depend on the ink system of your printer and the intended application such as for indoor, outdoor or on a vehicle. It is always best to test on a sample roll to be sure of how the job will print.
不同制造商的磁性材料为可印刷表面提供的方案不同。磁性材料的厚度等方面要和打印机的墨水系统想适应，才能达到预期效果。尤其是用于室内、室外或车辆标识的磁性材料，最好先在样品上进行测试，确认好正式操作时将如何打印。
Printing onto magnetic sheeting requires different settings on your printer to adjust for the weight and thickness. One potential obstacle is if you have a metal platen on your printer. This can be easily overcome by covering the platen with styrene, chipboard, vinyl or almost anything to create an air gap between the metal and the magnet, which then allows the magnetic sheeting to feed smoothly through the printer.
印刷磁性材料之前，需要在打印机上进行不同的设置，以便根据材料的重量和厚度进行调整。有一个问题值得注意，如果您的打印机上有一个金属压板，那就需要使用苯乙烯、刨乙烯基等材料来全面地将金属压板覆盖，从而在金属和磁性材料之间形成空气间隙，使打印机平稳地进行操作。
When considering the quality of today's printable magnetic sheeting together with the capabilities of today's wide-format printers and digital die-cutters, a myriad of applications for printed magnetics can become a lucrative year-round channel of business.
考虑到可印刷磁性材料的质量，以及宽幅打印机和数字切割机的功能这两个方面，印刷磁性材料的应用已经成为了一个可盈利的业务渠道。
Magnetic Graphics Systems
磁性图形系统
For printers and retail merchandising designers, magnetic graphics systems have been a primary focus in recent years. The main reason for using magnet and magnetic-receptive sheeting for retail P.O.P. displays is the ability to easily change out variable information or graphic elements without having to change the entire sign. A magnetic graphic system is durable, easily changeable and can provide the same high resolution graphics with brilliant color as printing on other substrates.
对于打印机和零售商来说，磁性图形系统是近年来的主要焦点。主要的原因是，用于零售P.O.P.的磁性工具使显示器能够轻松地更换可变信息或图形元素，无需更改整个标识。此外，磁性图形系统耐用，而且易于更换，印刷出来的图形分辨率高，色彩明亮。
Technological advancements have resulted in wider and thinner materials, all with continually improving performance characteristics such as:
近来，这种技术得到了近一步提升，使磁性材料得到了广泛的应用。磁性材料改进的性能如下：

磁性材料的宽度增加，提升了操作的效率。
hinner materials that weigh less, which translates to easier handling, printing, and lower shipping costs
磁性材料越来越精细，更加容易被处理，同时还降低了印刷和运输的成本。
Continuing development of printable surfaces to ensure the overall high-quality appearance of the graphics.
继续开发可打印的表面，使图形有更高质量的精美外观。
Labeling Options
标签选项
Another use for a magnetic graphic system is in coffee, ice cream or frozen yogurt shops for labeling flavors. There’s always a large number of carafes or ice cream/frozen yogurt dispensers with changing flavors. Since the dispensers are stainless steel (a non-ferrous metal), a magnet base with adhesive and labels printed on magnetic-receptive material provides a durable, colorful, reusable and easily changeable system for daily changing of flavors.
用于磁性图形系统的另一种用途是，在咖啡、冰淇淋或冷冻酸奶店中，可用来标记调料。由于冰淇淋/冷冻酸奶分配器是不锈钢（有色金属）材质，具有粘合剂的磁性底座，便于标签印刷在上面，方便他们每天更换各种口味。这种系统，可重复使用，并且易于更换。
Magnet and magnetic-receptive materials allow for colorful printing that can be easily cut to interesting shapes to fit whatever interior décor theme is needed. While flavor labels seem like a small printing project, the opportunity to produce magnetic graphics systems for labels, menu boards, and full wall graphics for national chains with hundreds of locations can make this a worthwhile venture.
磁性材料可进行彩色印刷，还能轻松地切割成有趣的形状，以满足任何内部装饰的主题。虽然这个调料标签看起来像一个小型的印刷项目，但是，数百个地点的连锁店都在生产这种标签，磁性图形系统的创作成为了一个有价值的冒险。
Holding and Fastening
保持紧固
Magnetic assemblies with hooks, carabiners or other sign holding attachments are extremely versatile in their use for attaching instore signs and graphics. Large vinyl banners are a standard printing staple of most sign shops, and vinyl banners go together with magnetic carabiners and hooks like peanut butter and jelly. Magnetic strip has long been the ideal material for mounting and changing graphic displays. With holding strengths ranging from a few pounds to a few hundred pounds, magnetic strip and assemblies are a great choice for reusable, repositionable holding of graphics, with no drilling or extra fastening required.
带有钩、卡扣或其他附件的磁性工具是万能的。大型乙烯基横幅是大多数标识商店所需要的标准印刷装订材料，乙烯基横幅与带有磁性挂钩放在一起，相当于黄油和面包在一起。磁条一直是安装和更换图形显示器的理想材料，它具有从几磅到几百磅的强度，可以重复使用，不需要钻孔就能保持紧固。

Speed and efficiency determine the profitability of most production work, and magnetic tools can be a great asset for getting things done around the shop quickly and conveniently. Here are a few magnet-based tools worth considering.
速度和效率决定了大多数生产工作的盈利程度，磁性工具可以成为最有利的条件。
Vehicle Wrap Magnets——During a vehicle wrap installation, using magnets instead of tape to hold graphics in place makes each job easier, faster and more profitable. It’s important to use magnets that have the features you need to do the job right. Be sure to look for these desirable attributes:
用于车辆图形安装的磁性材料——在安装车辆包装的过程中，使用磁性材料代替胶带将图形保持在原位后，接下来的每项工作都会变得轻松快捷。你会发现，磁性工具会有这些理想的属性：
* Strength——The magnet should be strong enough to hold graphics in position without slipping, while still allowing repositioning movement when pulling gently on the graphic.
强度——磁性工具非常坚固，可以将图形保持在适当的位置，不会滑动，同时，允许轻轻地拉动图形进行重新定位。
* Non-scratch——Magnets for vehicle graphic installation should have a protective covering such as plastic, rubber or felt to prevent scratching of the graphics or vehicle during installation. Be sure to always wipe the contact side of the magnet before each use so that collected debris doesn’t cause scratches.
*耐磨性——用于车辆图形安装的磁性工具具有保护层，可以有效地防止图形在安装过程中被划伤。需要注意的是，在使用前，要先擦拭磁性工具的接触面，以免产生划痕。
