scope:
1.1 This practice describes procedures for assessing the adhesion between lamination films and black and white or color images produced by printers, copies and other reprographic devices.
1.2 This practice can be used to test different laminates with a given set of inks and media or it can be used to evaluate inks and media with a given laminate.
1.3 This practice is applicable to laminated images, where the substrate surface is subject to failure under mechanical stress from mostly peel conditions (that is, paper, film, cloth, and so forth).
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
