images must have an approved overlaminate. See the base film's Product Bulletin for details.

The following is made in lieu of all other express or implied warranties, including any implied
warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose or implied warranty arising out
of a course of dealing, custom or usage of trade: all 3M products are warranted to be free of
defects in materials and manufacture at the time of shipment and to meet the specifications
stated in this Product Bulletin. 3M will replace or refund the price of any 3M materials that do
not meet this warranty within the specified time periods. These remedies are exclusive. In no

case shall 3M be liable for any direct, indirect, or consequential damages, including
any labor or non-3M materials charges.

See the 3M Graphics Market Center Warranty Brochure at 3Mgraphics.com, which gives the
terms, additional limitations of the warranty, if any, and limitations of liability.

Refer to the Product Bulletin for the base film you are using for all graphic construction
options and warranties.

Carefully follow all instructions in the Instruction Bulletins. Processing conditions can affect
the durability of the toner.

To ensure performance for durability and maintain the 3M™ MCS™ Warranty (where
offered), the toners should be printed at or above the following minimum reflective optical
densities.

• The date of manufacture is noted on both the bottle and box as a 5 digit number with a

• Use toner premix or concentrates within 36 months of the date of manufacture. Toners
older than 36 months may not have optimal printing performance.

For graphics covered by the 3M MCS warranty, 3M will warrant their durability when
printed with toners older than 36 months if the minimum print densities are maintained.

• Store the toner in its original container, tightly sealed, out of direct sunlight and at 40° to
100°F (4° to 38°C).

• Toners may be regulated for shipping. In the United States, toners are not regulated for
ground shipment. They are, however, regulated for air shipments and should not be
shipped by air without proper documentation. Opened toner bottles (foil seal broken) no
longer meet UN packaging guidelines and cannot be shipped air without special UN‐ap
proved over packing containers.

• Cleaners and thinners 8970, 8791 and 8792 should be used within 5 years of the date of
manufacture.

Refer to the user's guides and manuals supplied with your printer for additional details on
how to install and use toners in your printer.

The processing of four-color, electrostatically printed graphics requires careful preparation.
Detailed instructions and procedures are contained in the user's guides supplied with your
printer.

Toner premixes are shipped as two-part combo packs to improve shelf life. They require
mixing prior to use. For optimum printing results, mix the toners at least 8 hours before using
and then use these mixed toners as soon as possible. Put mixed toners into the printer within
one month of mixing.
