PVC Mesh Banner With Removable Liner for Wide-Format Printing
Mesh banner with liner is open PVC-coated polyester mesh supplied with a temporary backing. The liner catches ink that passes through the holes and can help the roll feed and stay supported on the printer.
Print the approved side, allow the ink to dry or cure, then remove the liner before finishing and installation. Choose by printer setup, mesh count, listed GSM, roll width and the exact liner data on the current TDS.
Does My Printer Need Mesh Banner With a Liner?
Choose a lined roll when the printer is not approved for open mesh, when ink can pass onto the platen or belt, or when the roll needs a continuous back surface for feed or vacuum support.
| Printer condition | Starting choice | What to verify |
|---|---|---|
| No mesh kit or ink collector | Mesh with liner | Overspray protection, liner heat limit and media tracking |
| Vacuum or belt needs a closed back | Mesh with liner | Flatness, suction, edge lift and take-up |
| Printer has an approved mesh/collector setup | Linerless may be possible | Machine manual, ink capture, feed, head clearance and cleaning |
| Latex or another heat-cure route | Use only an approved lined construction | Preset, curing temperature, shrinkage, liner release and blocking |
| Exact setup is unknown | Start with a labelled lined sample | Run a short print before buying production rolls |
What the Removable Liner Does
1. Catches ink
Open holes let ink pass through. The liner helps keep ink away from the printer bed or transport surface.
2. Supports feeding
A continuous back surface can improve vacuum hold-down, tracking and handling on printers that need it.
3. Peels away
The liner is a printing aid. Remove it after the approved drying or curing step and before final finishing or installation.
Separate Mesh Weight, Liner Weight and Combined Weight
These three figures are not interchangeable. The current UNISIGN public product pages show one GSM value but do not clearly split the mesh-only weight, liner weight and combined weight. The table below keeps the evidence gap visible.

| Overspray control | Backing catches ink through the holes | Printer needs an approved ink collector or mesh setup |
| Feed and vacuum | Continuous back can help support and tracking | Depends on the printer and open-mesh handling system |
| Heat check | Liner must remain flat and release cleanly | No liner heat behaviour, but mesh itself still needs testing |
| After printing | Dry/cure, then peel and dispose or recycle as applicable | No peel step |
| Roll and freight planning | Confirm mesh, liner and combined GSM | Confirm mesh-only GSM and packing |
| Best starting point | Unknown printer setup or machine needs backing | Printer manual clearly supports linerless mesh |

Mesh Banner With Liner FAQs
What is mesh banner with liner?
It is printable PVC-coated polyester mesh supplied with a temporary backing. The backing catches ink through the holes and can help support the roll during printing. It is removed after the approved drying or curing step.
Why does open mesh need a liner?
Ink can pass through the open areas. On printers without an approved mesh collector, a liner helps protect the platen or transport surface and gives vacuum or feed systems a more continuous back surface.
Can I print mesh without a liner?
Sometimes. Use linerless mesh only when the printer manufacturer supports it and the machine has the required ink-collection, feed and cleaning setup. Run a short test first.
Does the listed GSM include the liner?
The current UNISIGN public product pages show one GSM value but do not clearly separate mesh-only, liner and combined weights. Ask the current TDS or quotation to state all three fields. Do not guess.
What liner type does UNISIGN use?
The current public pages do not identify the liner material or liner GSM for these four SKUs. Confirm the exact liner construction, release and heat limit on the current TDS and labelled sample.
When should I remove the liner?
Remove it after the ink has dried or cured under the approved printer settings. Peel slowly and evenly, then check for residue, distortion or print damage before finishing.
Can Latex print on backed mesh?
UNISIGN lists Latex as compatible for the four models shown. Test the exact liner at the planned curing temperature, preset and pass count. Check flatness, shrinkage, blocking and clean release.
Which UNISIGN backed mesh models are available?
The current site lists M1212NP, M99P, M1812P and M189P as lined or liner-optional mesh paths. They use different yarn and mesh densities. Match the model to the printer and final job.
What roll widths are listed?
The product pages list 1–3.2 m and 5 m, with a 50 m standard length and other lengths also listed. Confirm that the exact width is currently supplied with the requested liner.
Does mesh banner eliminate wind risk?
No. Mesh can reduce wind load compared with a solid banner, but it does not remove structural risk. The finished size, open area, local wind, fixing system and supporting structure still need professional approval.
