Critical Operating Instructions
• For best results store and use within temperature of 50-86°F (10-30°C) and 35-65% relative humidity.
• Store the product in its original bag and box.
• Water-resistance tested with HP UV+ inks, Encad GO inks - Good for 3-4 months.
• Leave prints overnight before use to maximize water resistance.
• Structural base characteristics of Tyvek® may show through on prints.
• Unlaminated images are easily scratched and must be stitched hem side up so the sewing machine foot comes in
contact with the backside of the print.
• Lamination is recommended for prints requiring satin, matte, high gloss or other finishes and/or prints requiring
UV protection or greater general durability if they may be subject to moisture or handling. This media is suitable
for pressure (cold) or thermal (hot-melt) laminates. Heavier weight thermal laminates work best on this material.
Use at least a 125 or 250 micron laminate to avoid an “orange peel” effect between the media and the laminate.
