The One-Product Advantage
Why stock multiple specialty films when one product does it all?
Simplified Inventory
One SKU replaces multiple specialty products. Reduce inventory complexity, minimize storage space, and eliminate the confusion of choosing the right film for each application.
Cost Efficiency
Buy in volume, reduce waste from specialty stock sitting unused, and leverage economy of scale. One multipurpose product is simply more economical than maintaining separate floor, wall, and countertop inventories.
Streamlined Workflow
Print operators don't need to switch media for different applications. Load once, print multiple job types—floor graphics, wall murals, countertop displays—all from the same roll.
Reduced Training
Staff learns one product instead of multiple specialty films. Simpler training, fewer mistakes, consistent results across all application types.
Production Flexibility
Respond quickly to diverse customer requests without waiting for specialty material. Accept any job knowing you have the right material in stock.
Quality Consistency
Same textured finish, same print quality, same reliable performance across floors, walls, and countertops. Consistent results build customer confidence.

Floor Graphics Installation Guidelines
Graphics Considerations
- Radius Corners: Recommended to prevent edge lifting from scuffing
- Multi-Panel Projects: Butt edges together—NEVER overlap (creates trip hazard)
- Design Smart: Avoid placing graphics where heavy foot traffic will scuff edges
Location Selection
- Ensure flooring is in good repair and well-bonded to structural surface
- Loose, cracked, or uneven surfaces prevent proper adhesion and create trip hazards
- Avoid grout lines when possible—graphics don't adhere well to grout unless sealed
- If installing over grout lines, ensure graphic edges are fully supported and not aligned with grout edge
Surface Preparation
- Clean surface thoroughly to remove all dirt, grease, oils, and debris
- Use lint-free cloth with appropriate neutral degreaser/cleaner for hard floors
- Follow with isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) wipe-down
- Ensure surface is at least 40°F before installation
Installation Steps
- Position graphics on desired location (avoid aligning edges with grout lines)
- Use masking tape on one end if necessary to hold position
- Remove release liner from corner (opposite corner if using tape)
- Peel down and away from top, holding edge off surface
- Using squeegee, apply pressure from middle towards edges with overlapping strokes
- Ensure graphics conform to any grout lines
- If repositioning required, gently lift and reapply
- Ensure all edges and corners are applied with firm pressure
- For multi-panel installations, butt edges together—never overlap
- Do NOT polish graphics or surrounding floor for at least 24 hours
Edge Sealing
Highly Recommended: Use edge sealer to extend floor graphic life. If edges lift at all, graphics should be immediately removed and replaced to prevent trip hazards.
Maintenance
After 24-hour curing period, Trifecta® floor graphics can be maintained using normal floor maintenance procedures.
Wall Graphics Installation Guidelines
Location Selection
- Paint Cure Time: Do NOT install on walls painted within 30 days—paints must be fully cured
- Paint Type Matters: Low/no-VOC paints and matte/flat finishes typically have lower adhesion—testing recommended
- Surface Requirements: Do not install on unsealed drywall, plaster, wood, or composite materials
- Wall Condition: Wall should be free of defects, cracks, or texture issues
Surface Preparation
- Clean surface thoroughly with lint-free or micro-fiber cloth
- Use cleaner suitable for specific wall type (non-abrasive recommended)
- Avoid cleaners that leave residual waxes, oils, or surfactants
- If surface can tolerate isopropyl alcohol, wipe with 50/50 IPA/Water solution
- Allow surface to thoroughly dry
- Ensure surface is at least 40°F before installation
Installation Steps
- If graphics arrive rolled, lay flat for one day to flatten
- Clean and prepare surface as detailed above
- Peel back release liner at top edge, enough to attach to surface
- Continue working downward, peeling back liner as you go
- Use squeegee to smooth from center to edges, eliminating bubbles
- Take care not to distort or stretch the vinyl
- If repositioning necessary, gently remove and reapply
- Once complete, wipe entire graphic with soft, dry cloth
Window Application Guidelines
Graphics Considerations
- Size Limit: Limit graphics to 2' x 2' maximum (for larger, use Nekoosa Sign-Ad®)
- Clearance: Minimum 1/8" clearance around window frames for thermal expansion
- Window Coatings: Test if window has UV screen, anti-reflection film, or other coatings
Surface Preparation
- Remove grease, wax, and oily substances with solvent-based cleaner/degreaser
- Use soap/water solution to remove dirt and debris
- Avoid glass cleaners that leave residue
- Rinse with clean water to remove soap traces, dry with lint-free cloth
- Final wipe with 50/50 isopropyl alcohol/water blend
Wet Application Method
Note: Wet applications may result in adhesive blushing (slight milky appearance). This is normal and will clear in 24-48 hours.
- Mark desired location with 1/8" space from frames
- Tape top of graphic to hold position
- Lightly spray glass surface with wetting solution (water + drops of liquid soap)
- Remove backing paper gradually, squeegee as you go with firm overlapping strokes
- Remove application tape at 180° angle if used
- Dry entire area and re-squeegee with firm strokes (essential to prevent edge lifting)
- Puncture air or water bubbles with pin/needle and smooth
- Ultimate adhesion occurs within 24-48 hours—do not clean or disturb during this time
Graphics Removal
Trifecta®'s universal removable adhesive is designed for clean removal up to 1 year after installation:
- Start at any edge and gently lift off enough to grab
- For larger graphics, edge can be slit to allow removal in sections
- Slowly peel back on itself at a sharp angle (minimizes paint pulling)
- Continue at even pace until completely removed
- If any residual adhesive remains, use isopropyl alcohol to remove
Pro Tip: Sharp angle removal (pulling back on itself) is key to clean removal without surface damage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What makes Trifecta® truly "multipurpose"?
A: Trifecta® is engineered to handle three distinct application types—floor graphics, wall graphics, and countertop graphics—with the same product. The 6-mil semi-rigid construction, universal removable adhesive, and textured finish work perfectly across all three applications. This isn't a compromise product—it's purpose-built to excel at all three uses.
Q: How can floor graphics be UL 410 slip resistant WITHOUT overlaminate?
A: The textured matte surface provides slip resistance right from the printer. The dimensional texture, combined with the specific vinyl formulation, achieves UL 410 certification without requiring an overlaminate layer. This is unique in the industry and delivers massive time and cost savings.
Q: How long do Trifecta® floor graphics last?
A: For indoor floor graphics, Trifecta® is suitable for up to 6 months. For best scuff resistance, we recommend printing with UV inks. The textured surface naturally hides minor scuffing better than smooth films.
Q: Can I use Trifecta® outdoors?
A: Yes! Trifecta® is rated for up to 3 years outdoor durability on walls and other vertical surfaces. For outdoor applications lasting longer than 6 months, we recommend using an edge sealer to extend graphic life and prevent moisture intrusion.
Q: What surfaces can Trifecta® be applied to?
A: Trifecta® adheres to painted walls (cured 30+ days), sealed concrete, tile, wallpaper, wood paneling, countertops, polished stone, stainless steel, sealed wood, vinyl flooring, and many other smooth, clean surfaces. Always test on the actual surface for 48 hours before full installation.
Q: How clean is the removal?
A: Trifecta® is designed for clean removal for up to 1 year without leaving adhesive residue. The universal removable adhesive bonds securely during use but removes cleanly when you're ready to update graphics. Any minimal residue can be removed with isopropyl alcohol.
Q: What's the benefit of the textured finish?
A: The textured matte finish provides multiple benefits: slip resistance for floor safety, reduced glare for easy viewing, fingerprint resistance, scratch hiding, premium dimensional appearance, and a sophisticated aesthetic. It's both functional and beautiful.
Q: Can I print Trifecta® on my HP Latex printer?
A: Absolutely! Trifecta® is HP Latex certified for HP Latex 110, 115, 310, 315, 330, 335, 360, 365, 370, 375, 560, 570, and 700/800 series printers. It's also compatible with solvent, eco-solvent, UV, UV offset, and screen printing.
Q: Do I need to laminate wall graphics?
A: No, lamination is not required for wall graphics. Trifecta® performs excellently as an unlaminated wall graphic. The textured surface provides scratch resistance and the adhesive ensures clean removability.
Q: Why is edge sealing recommended for floor graphics?
A: Edge sealing extends the life of floor graphics by preventing moisture intrusion and edge lifting during cleaning and maintenance. It's especially important in high-traffic areas or for graphics that will be in place for the full 6-month duration.
Q: Can Trifecta® go over grout lines?
A: Yes, but it's best to avoid grout lines when possible. Graphics don't adhere as well to grout unless it's sealed. If you must install over grout lines, ensure graphic edges are fully supported and not aligned with the edge of a grout line to minimize lifting.
Q: What's the maximum size for window graphics?
A: Limit window graphics to 2' x 2' maximum. For larger window graphics, use Nekoosa Sign-Ad® product which is specifically designed for window applications.
Q: How should I store Trifecta®?
A: Store at 68°F with 50% relative humidity in original packaging. Shelf life is 1 year from ship date when stored properly. Protect from temperature extremes and direct sunlight.
Q: What ink system is best for floor graphics?
A: UV inks are recommended for floor graphics to avoid potential scuffing. UV inks cure instantly and provide superior scratch and abrasion resistance—ideal for the foot traffic floor graphics receive.
