Frequently asked questions
Can I use GF 248 Print-N-Lam™ as a laminate?
Yes. GF 248 works equally well as a laminating film. If paired with GF 333 AutoMark™ DRIFT™ PW, it should be used only for flat/general signage. We do not recommend nor warrant GF 247 or GF 248 series to be paired with GF 333 for wraps or any vehicle or fleet application.
Can I wet apply GF 248 Print-N-Lam™?
It is possible, but since GF 248 is a water-based adhesive, there is the potential for temporary cloudiness when using commercial application fluids to apply this vinyl. The key is that the fluids needs to be squeegeed out as thoroughly as possible. What little moisture & fogginess that remains should then evaporate and dissipate in 24-48 hrs.
What applications are GF 248 Print-N-Lam™ good for?
For flat or general signage, commercial applications, point of purchase, and permanent windows.
