Manufacturer resources and application guidance

• 3M IJ3552C U.S. product bulletin: specifications, printing and application (PDF, April 2022)
• 3M dry-installation and substrate-preparation instructions (PDF, December 2024)
• 3M lamination preparation and ink drying/curing instructions (PDF, December 2024)
• 3M vehicle installation and pre-installation inspection guide (PDF, October 2026)

• 3M graphic-removal guide and substrate precautions (PDF, December 2024)

Apply IJ3552C dry to a suitable surface within the product bulletin’s limits. Its listed surface scope includes flat panels, simple curves and moderate compound curves; the general vehicle guide does not expand those limits. Fully dry or cure the print before laminating or applying it.

Follow the film-specific removal conditions rather than assuming every surface will release alike. For temperature-sensitive removal or a specified service life, confirm the requirements for the supplied roll before ordering. On glass, follow the removal guide’s glass precautions and do not use heat-aided removal.

Separately sold graphic protection

The film bulletin lists 3M 8518 gloss, 8519 luster and 8520 matte overlaminates as protection options. Select the exact film, printer/ink system and intended application together; see the 3M 8518 / 8519 / 8520 overlaminate bulletin (PDF, September 2026). Sold separately; choose the appropriate finish, width and length. This recommendation does not establish floor-system suitability or warranty coverage.

Nominal 54 in × 50 yd and 54 in × 100 yd choices match the corresponding media dimensions. The listed 48.5 in × 50 yd laminate is wider than 48 in media and may require trimming; no 48.5 in × 100 yd option is listed. A 50 yd laminate roll does not cover a full 100 yd media roll. Check laminator capacity, required usable length and processing allowance before choosing.
