Durability
The indoor durability of this film is 4 years and the outdoor durability of the unprinted film is up to 3 years.
Over lamination of the inkjet-printed material with PERMACOLOR® overlaminates minimizes yellowing of
the print media and delays color fading that may occur over time. This color fading is mainly dependent
upon the ink’s quality (see technical data sheets given by the ink manufacturers) and the pressure
sensitive media being used.
Shelf Life
2 years from DOM when stored at 60/77°F (15/25°C) and 50% relative humidity in the original package.
Approved Printing Processes:

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
OEM 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.
Limitations
1) The user is responsible for determining the product’s suitability, including adhesion and if
needed, removal characteristics when used in applications other than listed specifically in this
Performance Guide.
2) If there are any questions about applications, please contact your Mactac sales representative
to discuss your requirements for recommendations.
3) If this is a printed Performance Guide it is an uncontrolled document. Please check the Mactac
website for the latest, most up-to-date version.
4) Installation: Wet application method is not recommended for the installation of this product.
The use of application fluids could affect the adhesion strength to the substrate because the
adhesive is water based and will soften.
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%.
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.
3) Laminating Conditions: If the printed graphic is likely to be exposed to corrosive liquids, smoke,
fumes and highly polluted areas or there is a likelihood of scratching it is highly recommended
you laminate with PERMACOLOR ColorGard LUV series (intermediate) or PromoGard
(economical) overlaminating films.
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.
