Should Magnetic material be handled differently that other digital media?

Magnetic material, prior to printing, should be stored on end to prevent the material from getting flat spots sue to its own weight. The makeup of the magnetic, as well the construction of the printer will determine if it is safe to run through the digital printer. Before applying the magnetic to a vehicle it is important to wash the vehicle of all dirt and residue.  For optimal results it is best to wax the vehicle and the back side of the magnetic as well. During use, it is important for the magnetic to be removed periodically and both the back of the magnetic and the vehicle be washed thoroughly.
