Troubleshooting
Film
A two part material consisting an adhesive
layer and a substrate. The adhesive and the substrate may
or may not be clear. This is the material used for lamination.
Please refer to laminate.
Foamboard
A material commonly used as a mounting
substrate. It is made up of foam sandwiched between
two layers of paper, or paper like media.
Inkjet
A term used to describe a type of printing where
an ink is projected topically onto a paper or paper like
media. This is a noncontact form of printing.
Craft paper
A strong brown paper commonly used for single
sided applications.
Laminate
A two part material consisting an adhesive layer
and a substrate. The adhesive and the substrate may or
may not be clear. This is the material used for lamination.
Main rollers
These are the rolls that perform the actual
lamination. They are rolls capable of being heated in
thermal roll laminators and are usually larger in diameter
than the pull rolls.

Media
Term used to describe the materials used to print
an image, i.e. the papers, inks, toners, etc.
Mount adhesive
A term used to describe a two sided pressure
sensitive adhesive used in mounting images to various
substrates. This material can come with one or two release
liners and may be optically clear for face mounting
applications.
Mount tissue
A thermally activated mount adhesive used in
either a vacuum or roll type laminator. Primarily used for
mounting bond type papers to porous substrates.
Nip
The interrelationship of any two rolls. The distance
between the closest points of the two rolls is referred to
as the nip of the rolls.
Outgassing
The term that describes the phenomenon where
the heat from the laminating process turns components of
the printed media into a gas. This is seen as a cloudy or
murky finished image. It can also be caused by a chemical
incompatibility between the overlaminate's adhesive and
the printed media.
