the place of a mask and provide
enhanced protection. Although
decals don't always require lamination, it can help maintain ink
color in geographic areas where
ultraviolet light is an issue.
Laminating/masking material
comes in rolls that are the same
widths as the media with which
it is used and can be stored on
the same rack. It's important
to designate what each roll is,
since all masking materials are
clear and look the same.
In addition to labeling rolls,
positioning them in a dedicated
location - like at the top or the
bottom of the rack - helps make
pulling the correct material faster
and prevents costly mistakes.
The Right Tools
There also are several tools
that can facilitate printer/
cutter workflow. A weeder, which
is a tool with a sharp point,
makes weeding a lot less difficult and saves time.
