Overlay Storage Guidelines
 Store overlay material in the original package until you load it in the laminator. Keep the 
original packaging closed until you are ready to use the overlay.
 The overlay maintains its quality for about one year. For optimum card quality, purchase and 
store quantities of material that can be used within one year.
 Overlay material might require secure storage and tracking. Follow your organization’s policy 
for storing and tracking the supplies used to make cards.
 Store the overlay in a location away from direct sunlight, with a temperature between 50° 
and 80°F (10° and 27°C). A range of 30% to 70% humidity is recommended.
 Install supply rolls at room temperature. If supplies are stored in an environment that is 
cooler than the printer environment, allow supplies to reach room temperature before you 
use them.
 If the printer will not be used for an extended period, remove supplies from the laminator 
and store them with new supplies.
