TIPS FOR SINGLE SIDED LAMINA-
TION (Figure 38)
Roll
1. Load the laminator as illustrated
of film
in Figure 38.
2. Use kraft paper for one-sided
lamination whenever the items to
be laminated are narrower than
the film you are using.
3. If not using kraft paper, use a
scrap piece to finish the run or
you will have adhesive on your
rollers.
4. Running the web over the chill
idler may improve the flatness of
the output.
5. A little heat, 125
help eliminate silvering effects
associated with PSA films.
TIPS FOR CREATING A DECAL
(Figure 39)
Roll
1. Load the laminator as illustrated

in Figure 39.
2. The over laminate may be PSA
or thermal type.
3. If using thermal type, pay
attention to the Poly-in/ Poly-out
rule.
4. Run a test material prior to
running the actual image to
ensure flat output.
Decal
5. Use minimal brake tension to
achieve quality output.
6. Do not web the PSA mount
adhesive around the lower
web idler.
TIPS FOR MOUNTING A DECAL
(Figure 40)
1. Load the laminator as illustrated
in Figure 40.
2. The image should not exceed
the width of the board by more
than 1 in. (2.54 cm) per side.
3. Tack about 1 in. (2.54 cm) of the
leading edge of the decal to the
leading edge of the board.
4. When tacking the leading edge,
start in the center and work to
the sides.
5. Use a board that exceeds the
size of the decal if inexperi-
enced in the mounting applica-
tion.
