Choosing & Using ORAGUARD Overlaminate

Choose ORAGUARD 290 when the printed graphic needs premium cast performance and long service life. It is a better match than economy or intermediate calendered laminates for demanding long-term applications. ORAFOL recommends specific media-and-laminate combinations, so match 290 to the print film and installation requirements rather than choosing by thickness alone. For solvent or eco-solvent prints, adequate outgassing before lamination is important.
