Properly installed and cared for, they will produce high quality images for many years. Listed below are recommended methods to clean, handle and repair optical panels. Repair of damage not described herein should be discussed with our Sales Department. Liability and risk in cleaning or repairing rear projection screens are assumed by the user.   CLEANING Da-Lite Lenskleen Cleaner is especially formulated to clean Da-Lite's Polacoat rear projection screens. Remove dust by gently washing the screen with a soft cloth and mild solution of dishwashing liquid and water. Rinse with clear water and blot dry. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents, solvents, commercial cleaners, or ammonia cleaning solutions.   REPAIR Slight scuffs and scratches on screens may be removed by cleaning the area thoroughly with mild soap and water. A light application of mineral oil on scratch marks will seal slight damage.   HANDLING Upon receipt of crates inspect immediately for concealed damage Keep screens in shipping cartons until used. Store in a dry area between 40°F and 100°F. Screens, cartons, and crates should always be stored and handled in an upright position. Never lean or stack them flat. Cotton gloves are recommended for safe handling. Handle screens by edges. Installation locations should always be cleaned and free of any objects or solvents which could fall onto the surface of the screen.   SCREENS WITHOUT FRAMES Screens can be ordered without frames and framed with wood, plastic or metal on site. Large Da-Plex screens should be installed so weight is suspended from the top. All construction, painting and finishing should be completed before installation to reduce the chance of damage to the optical surface. It is recommended that installation of unframed screens be handled by experienced glaziers. Detailed installation instructions accompany each screen.   SCREENS WITH FRAMES Select frame from the CAD Drawings Page.   CUSTOM SIZES Da-Glas and Da-Plex screens are available in a wide range of custom sizes. Screens over 8-feet high require the use of a special contract carrier.     For pricing information, please contact Media Fabricators, Inc. via e-mail at [email protected] or via telephone at 323 937 3344.
