General Tips When Working With Infrared Patches, Targets, Pasters, and Markers

Your patch, target, pasters, or marker are not broken. With a few adjustments, you will have success.

Device Resolution

Not all IR devices have the same resolutions. Your Night Vision and Thermal devices will vary in features and resolution.

  • Check the settings on your device for errors.
  • Check the distance capabilities of your device compared to the distance of your patch, target, or marker.
  • If possible, try a higher-resolution device.

Distance

Distance and Device resolution work hand in hand. Most infrared films have distance limitations directly correlated to the device’s resolution. See the recommended distances below.

Remove Debris

Debris could hinder the contrast of your infrared film

  • Use a soft cloth.
  • If needed water or gentle degreasing spray is ok.
  • Wipe and rinse gently.
  • Avoid any type of abrasive sponge.

Extreme Cold Temperatures

Frigid temperatures could lessen the performance of infrared films.

  • Reposition yourself.
  • And or reposition the patch, target, or marker.
  • If using a passive target, add a portable heater to the back of the target (ie hand or toe warmers).
  • If conditions persist with your target, consider a powered target to combat the cold.
