Laminator Setup
The information in this section applies only to SP75 printers.
All SP75 printers have one laminator, which is always in the L1 location, toward the front of the printer. Some SP75
printers have a second laminator in the L2 location, toward the back of the printer.
Laminator materials
The laminator applies topcoat or DuraGard® patch material to the card. The L1 and L2 laminators can apply either
type of material. Topcoat is a continuous film and a DuraGard patch is a die-cut polyester shape.
Patches can cover the complete card, can have a opening for a smart card chip, or can cover the card under the
magnetic stripe.
Both DuraGard patches and topcoat can be clear or can have a hologram or similar transparent image on them.
Such material is usually called holographic topcoat or holographic patch. Customers can order customized
holographic material.
In addition, holographic topcoat or DuraGard patch can be designed so the image appears in the same location on
each card.
