Product Description
Arlon DPF 510GT/MT is a calendered digital print vinyl with a solvent-based permanent adhesive and a lay-flat double-sided polycoated liner — engineered for reliable, durable medium-term commercial signage at an exceptional value. Vibrant, consistent print quality across Eco-Solvent, Solvent, UV, and Latex ink systems. Available in white gloss and white matte finishes. Rated for 3 years outdoor durability (unprinted).
The Reliable Workhorse Calendered Print Vinyl
DPF 510GT/MT is Arlon's foundational calendered digital print vinyl — the dependable workhorse film that sign shops reach for on the everyday medium-term jobs that don't need the bubble-free X-Scape liner of the 510GTX/MTX or the aggressive grab of the 510 High Tack. For standard commercial signage on standard substrates, 510GT/MT delivers vibrant print quality and a reliable permanent bond at an unbeatable price.
The solvent-based permanent adhesive (light gray tinted) provides a strong, durable bond for multi-purpose signage applications, while the two-sided lay-flat polycoated liner ensures the vinyl won't curl under the heavy heat output of high-temperature printers — a real-world reliability factor that separates production-grade films from value-tier alternatives.

- Roll widths: 1.07 m, 1.37 m (54"), and 1.52 m (60") — 50-yard roll lengths
SKU Variants
510GT (White Gloss)
White gloss vinyl with light-gray tinted permanent adhesive. High color saturation for retail signage, POP displays, kiosks, real estate signs, and general commercial graphics where vibrant color drives the message.
510MT (White Matte)
White matte vinyl with light-gray tinted permanent adhesive. Low-glare finish for indoor signage, POP installations under direct lighting, and applications where reflection control matters more than color pop.
Ink Compatibility
DPF 510GT/MT is engineered with consistent ink receptivity across all four major print platforms:
The lay-flat liner is specifically engineered to prevent vinyl curl under heavy printer heat — a meaningful reliability factor on UV and high-heat solvent platforms where lesser films develop production issues.
Ideal Applications
Medium-Term Signage
Indoor and outdoor commercial signage, retail graphics, business signage, and promotional displays with 1–3 year service-life expectations.
POP Displays
Point-of-purchase displays, retail end-caps, branded kiosks, and in-store promotional graphics for ongoing — not seasonal — campaigns.
Kiosk Graphics
Branded kiosks, info kiosks, transit kiosks, and standalone retail installations where graphics need to look professional and stay put.
Real Estate Signage
For Sale / For Lease signs, open house signage, property branding, and real estate marketing graphics — the permanent adhesive holds up to outdoor exposure for the full listing cycle.
Commercial Graphics
Storefront branding, business identification, corporate environmental graphics, and general commercial signage on flat surfaces.
Re-Skin & Cover-Up
The light-gray tinted adhesive provides opacity for covering existing graphics — useful for retail re-skins where you're applying new signage over old without removing the previous install.

How DPF 510GT/MT Fits in the Arlon 510 Family
Arlon offers four variants of the DPF 510 calendered print vinyl, each engineered for a different installation scenario. Picking the right one comes down to one question: what's the install challenge?
| Variant | Adhesive Type | Liner | Use When... |
|---|---|---|---|
| 510GT/MT (this product) | Permanent (light gray) | Standard lay-flat polycoated | Standard medium-term commercial signage on standard substrates — the value-tier default |
| 510GTX/MTX | Permanent (tinted) | X-Scape Technology® air-egress | You need bubble-free installation — large-format graphics, paint-like finish |
| 510 High Tack | High-tack permanent | Two-sided polycoated | Substrate is rough, low-energy, weathered, or otherwise difficult — standard adhesive won't hold |
| 510GTR/MTR | Removable (tinted) | Two-sided polycoated | Short-term graphic that needs to come off cleanly — seasonal retail, real estate, events |
