- Ensure that the material has reached room temperature and a relative humidity of 50% before printing.
- Do not handle the face film directly and ensure it is free from dust and static.
Overlaminating
- Overlamination is recommended to prevent abrasion and to extend colour fastness.

- The matched laminate for MD-i is MetaGuard MGi. For all other laminates the user should determine suitability.

- Suitable for wet application. Always apply dry into recesses, or where the print is cut flush, to ensure best adhesion.
- Not recommended for use on low energy surfaces such as polypropylene. The user should determine suitability of substrate.
