LOADING FILM WITH A THREADING CARD The following procedure uses a film threading card that is sometimes provided with new rolls of film. If one is not provided, a scrap of cardboard or poster board with a straight edge is suitable. Either can be reused. Prior to loading film, remove the print clamp (Artic Titan 1064 WF c) and feed table. -
Page 21: Loading Film By Tacking New Film To Existing Film
LOADING FILM BY TRACKING NEW The following describes a method for loading film whereby FILM TO EXISTING FILM the existing film on the rollers may be used in place of the threading card to draw the new film through the laminator. Leading edges of the new film will be overlapped onto the adhesive of the old film. -
Page 22: Decaling In Two Passes
DECALING IN TWO PASSES Decaling is where you laminate items and then mount them on other materials such as Foam Core or mounting board. It is performed in two passes. The first pass laminates and applies the mounting adhesive, encapsulating the item. The second pass mounts it on rigid material. -
Page 23: Mounting
MOUNTING TIPS FOR THREADING PRESSURE SENSITIVE ADHESIVE (PSA) FILM • Use kraft paper for one-sided lamination. • Refer to Fig. 6-17 for the proper film configuration. • Whenever possible, pull the remaining web of film out the front of the laminator after the finished item has been removed. -
Page 24: Film Tension
FILM TENSION Proper film tension, known as brake tension, is the minimum amount required to eliminate wrinkles in the finished item. As the film roll becomes smaller, tension increases, thus the adjustment needs to be loosened. Film tension should be checked occasionally to assure that the adjustment is correct. -
Page 25: Testing The Web
TESTING THE WEB After webbing the machine, it is important that the films run straight and evenly. To test the web: Set the roller pressure handle to an appropriate position. Press RUN or the foot switch and run approximately 6 in. (10 cm) of laminate. Press STOP or release the foot switch. -
