Primer - What is a primer?
Answer:
A type of coating; a coat that is applied to the bottom surface of a face material (the surface that receives the adhesive layer as opposed to the surface that is printed). A primer is designed to promote adhesion between the face material and the adhesive, and to prevent migration of the adhesive into the face material.
