Please check the Mactac website for the latest most up-to-date version Recommendations Mactac studies and field surveys with numerous customers using Permacolor laminates in rolled-up graphic applications leads to the following recommendations for rolling and shipping laminated images 1. Prior to rolling graphics a A 2 - 4 hour wet-out period is strongly recommended for the adhesive system to build to ultimate adhesion. This will significantly improve your success with rolled-up graphics. b This product can be used over UV inkjet and screen printed images. However extra wet-out time is required to reduce silvering and build bond prior to rolling. 2. For single-side laminated images a Roll laminated side in for shipping and storage. b An inside roll diameter of 3 - 5 inches minimum is recommended for graphics with less than 10 mil total graphic thickness includes imaged media and Permacolor overlaminates. c For images with a total thickness of 10 mils or greater an inside roll diameter of 10 - 12 inches minimum is recommended. 3. For images laminated on both front and back sides a Roll images with the thicker laminate to the inside for shipping and storage. For example if your image has 5 or 10 mil polycarbonate or vinyl on the front and 15 mil Polycarbonate on the back for additional stiffness roll the graphic with the 15 mil PermaFlex side in. b All double laminated images should be rolled with an inside roll diameter of 10 - 12 inches minimum. Remember that a larger inside diameter is better. We recognize that different laminators methods may produce different results.
