Tips & Tricks

* DMCF4HPS may be used in Epson Stylus Pro 7800 and Epson Stylus Pro 9800 printers by following these steps:  

     On the printer front panel, go to Menu.
     Select Printer Setup.
     Select Page Size, and Select Off.

* DMCF4HPS film may be used on Hewlett-Packard printers to allow media sensing.

* DMCF4HP with a paper interleaf may be used on printers that require sensing across the web. The paper interleaf is also used to protect the film in handling. To feed the product in a printer, follow these steps:

     Unwrap the white backing sheet once.
     Cut away the excess where it meets the clear film.
     Load so that the clear film is up and the paper interleaf in below. 
     Pull both layers about 6 inches past the platen before printing. 

* To obtain complete waterfastness, over-laminate clear film with a cold PSA.

* Magic clear film may be printed on in the positive or reverse print mode.

* Magic clear films are often used with a double-sided clear adhesive in window  applications.

* Magic clear film is ideal for full-color graphic indoor signage and for color separations for screen printing.

* All Magic films are wound coated side out.

* Magic clear film may be recycled.
