  • Standard type film
  • Film adhesive is activated between 290F and 320F

  • Polyester-based
  • Has a clear finish
  • Available in 1.5mm and 3mm thickness

NAP II Film

  • Ideal for coated stock, prints with heavy ink coverage and older documents
  • Polyester-based
  • Has a clear or matte finish
  • Available in a wide range of thicknesses (1.5mm, 3mm, 5mm and 10mm)
