    Hi all, need to get a job finished today and need to know if you have ever used the above and cut on ink edge. I have allowed a bleed and printed what I need and allowed to dry, do you know if the edges will curl on MD5 when cut on lnk or shall I just laminate?? This is only going to be used inside and it wont be touched I just dont want to fit to find is curled back, thanks Rich

    i stopped using it years ago for partly that reason but that was when it first came out, and may have improved a lot since.

    print with marks put to one side then cut when fully dried is a option.

    yes I have printed with crop marks in case I laminated, just thinking could I get away without laminating as time is not on my side ??

    Hi Richard
    I use MD5 all the time. I have had issues if the ink is not dry enough, as in print an cut in one process. But if let to dry overnight, I found it ok. Almost everything I do is laminated and cutting on the ink line after lamination, has never caused a problem on MD5.
