  To achieve the best possible print quality, please make sure that the correct ICC profiles or printer settings are used. Profiles can be obtained from our Distributors or can be downloaded from www.mactac.com. Printer and heater settings and ICC profiles can also be downloaded from some O.E.M. or software manufacturer’s websites.
  
  The ICC profiles are provided solely as a customer resource. Print environments, the individual nature of printing systems, inks and software can significantly affect output. It is the customer’s responsibility to determine the suitability of any profile for use in their specific print environment.

• Recommendations
  Always test your combination of IMAGin products, inks and laminating films prior to commercial use.
  
  
  • 1) Printing Conditions: Print in conditioned pressroom at ±73°F (23°C) and 50% RH. Ink saturation should not exceed 270%.
    NOTE: If printing on UV, please modify your print speed and curing settings for thin, soft media. Refer to your printer manufacturer’s user guide for these settings.
  • 2) Drying Requirements: Solvent, Eco-solvent and Mild-solvent inkjet prints require 24 - 48 hr. drying time - open to the air. Inks do not dry when printed media is rolled up. The prints must be dry prior to lamination. Improperly dried prints will reduce adhesive performance and increase the risk of edge lifting and excessive shrinkage.
  • 3) Laminating Conditions: We do not recommend lamination for this product.
  • 4) Transportation Conditions: To allow for easy transportation, IMAGin series can be rolled up, with the image out, with a minimum diameter of 6 inches (15cm). When the image is not protected by an overlaminate, make sure the print is completely dry and protected in a plastic bag. During transportation or storage, avoid exposing them to extreme temperature and humidity changes.
  • 5) Application: follow the general pressure sensitive application methods. Do not apply using the Wet application method.
