Applications
Mounting
Mounting on the Falcon 60 H is achieved from
the front operating position. Heat can also assist with
mounting, it follows the same hints as pressure sensitive
materials.

application.
Pressure
Most lamination is performed at 50 ~ 70% of
pressure on the rollers. Once again, there are variables
that may require some adjustments of the above mentioned
pressures.
Typically the thicker the paper, the more pressure
required and for thinner paper ( tissue paper/ light bond
paper ) you can use less pressure ( as little as 50 % ) on
the roller.
When it comes to mounting, the one general "rule"
is to not crush the substrate. Most substrates only require
about 20-50 % of pressure, but variables can effect how
much pressure is actually needed. ( width, thickness,
density, etc. )

Brake tension
Brake tension should always be minimal. Brake
tension should always be even from the top roll of film
to the lower roll of film. Never use excessive amount of
brake tension.
