Product Description
Directly Printable Floor Graphics Film – No Laminate Required
ASLAN Print’nGo DFP 43 is a self-adhesive white printable floor graphics film designed for indoor promotional, directional and decorative floor applications.
Unlike conventional floor graphic systems that require a printed base film plus a separate non-slip laminate, Print’nGo DFP 43 is engineered with a specialized slip-resistant surface that can be printed directly.
That means fewer production steps, less material handling and a simpler workflow for sign shops and print providers producing temporary indoor floor graphics.
The approximately 5.5 mil / 140 micron polymeric PVC film features a specially coated surface designed to provide enhanced traction while maintaining compatibility with common wide-format ink technologies.

Why Choose Print’nGo DFP 43?
Traditional printable floor graphics often require two separate materials:
- A printable adhesive vinyl
- A certified slip-resistant floor laminate
Print’nGo DFP 43 combines the printable surface and slip-resistant performance into one material.
For print shops, this can streamline production by eliminating a separate lamination step.
Potential workflow benefits include:
- Faster production
- Fewer materials required
- Reduced finishing steps
- Easier inventory management
- Reduced laminate waste
- Simpler short-run floor graphic production
R12 Slip-Resistance Classification
One of the biggest advantages of Print’nGo DFP 43 is its slip-resistant surface.
The manufacturer lists the following non-slip testing and classifications:
DIN 51130: R12
DIN 51097: Class C for wet barefoot walkways
ANSI: A137.1 / A326.3
Pendulum Test: BS 7976:2
This makes DFP 43 particularly attractive for applications where floor safety is an important consideration.
Printable Without Lamination
Print’nGo DFP 43 can be directly printed using:
- Solvent
- Eco-solvent
- Latex
- UV-curable inks
Printed inks must be allowed to dry completely before installation to avoid negatively affecting the film or adhesive.
Because the slip-resistant functionality is incorporated into the film itself, an additional floor laminate is not required.
Specialized Surface Construction
The surface contains small glass particles that create its rough, slip-resistant texture.
This texture is part of the film's functional design and does not negatively affect the printing process.
Because of the manufacturing process, small dark particles may occasionally appear within the film. ASLAN states that these do not affect functionality and are nearly invisible once the material is installed on the floor.

Installation
Print’nGo DFP 43 should only be installed on smooth indoor surfaces.
ASLAN recommends installation using:
- ASLAN Application Roll
- Plastic squeegee without a felt edge
Because of the textured slip-resistant surface, installers should avoid using a felt-edged squeegee.
As with any floor graphic material, the substrate should be thoroughly cleaned and tested before installation.
Cleaning & Maintenance
Print’nGo DFP 43 can be cleaned using normal floor-maintenance procedures.
Recommended cleaning methods include:
- Mop cleaning
- Standard floor detergents
- Wet cloth for spot cleaning
- Scrubber-dryer cleaning equipment
The film is resistant to standard floor detergents.
Because the surface is intentionally textured to improve slip resistance, it may require more effort to clean than a conventional smooth vinyl surface.
