1.1Â This practice describes procedures for assessing the adhesion between lamination films and black and white or color images produced by printers, copies and other reprographic devices.
1.2Â This practice can be used to test different laminates with a given set of inks and media or it can be used to evaluate inks and media with a given laminate.
3.1Â The image life of printed media displayed in both typical office and outdoor environments can be extended by lamination or encapsulation. While natural aging is the most reliable method of assessing lamination adhesion, the length of the time required makes this method impractical for most materials. This practice utilizing mechanical stress allows comparative studies of prints and laminating films.
