Designing a photo calendar with Fixogum

When creating a photo calendar with Fixogum, it is important that the glue is only applied selectively and is allowed to flash off and dry thoroughly before continuing with the design.

Can Marabu Fixogum also be used for photos?

Yes, Marabu Fixogum is ideal for adhering photos. They can be adhered either permanently (application on both sides) or temporarily (application on one side). Marabu Fixogum does not make the paper wavy which makes is particularly suitable for photos. Any adhesive residue can simply be rubbed off.

Fixogum has attacked the photos when designing a photo calendar.

What could be the cause if Fixogum attacks the photos when designing a photo calendar?
Our recommendation for photos comes from the time when photos were still chemically developed. However, modern dye-sublimation prints are obviously no longer fully adhesive.

If a lot of glue is applied and the glued areas are not allowed to flash off (e.g. because the calendar is turned over and the next thing you know), the solvent will penetrate the whole paper and damage the print.

If you only apply the glue selectively and let it dry well, nothing can happen, even with modern photos.
