Abstract

A process in which a wound roll of biaxially oriented polyester film having a glass transition temperature (Tg (° C.)) is annealed at a temperature Ta (° C.) above Tg where Tg<Ta≦Tg+100 (° C.) for a time t after thermal equilibrium where 1 hour≦t≦72 hours and cooled, for the purpose of improving the shrinkage of said polyester film.
