Hello Sir,
Thank you for your email. I am sorry that you are not happy with the new version of Accufilm. However, there seems to be some mixed feedback on this product as we have had some people say that they do not like it, and others say that they have found the product to meet their standards. Original Accufilm film used to go through a 2-step, heat/cold process. This change of the film occurred through the U.S. and Canada (from a majority of film companies) due to a request from the EPA to collect the MEK that was being released from the solvent ink used in the cold process for environmental concerns. In order to comply with these regulations, we had to switch to a heat/heat process which did not hold up well with the original film. We are now using a Polyester film that is highly durable (but does not stretch) which can withstand the heat/heat process. There are some companies that claim to have similar products to “Original Accufilm”. However, these are companies outside of the U.S with very little, or no restrictions to pollutants. If they are a company in the U.S., then they are being made illegally. There is NO current manufacturer in the states that admits to still using the now illegal manufacturing process used to make the older style of Accufilm. Our goal as a company is to be more environmentally friendly. We are exploring other methods of being more environmentally friendly as well, including packaging, office usage, energy use, etc. I hope this reply helps to better understand the changes that were made and the reasons why. If you have any questions or would like to try a sample of the newest version, I would be happy to have some sent out to you. Thank you for your input and your time. Have a wonderful day!
