Troubleshooting
Clutch tension
The tension that is applied to the laminated material
between the main and pull rolls. This tension is applied by
having the pull rolls turn faster than the main rolls, and
then having some form of clutching or torque limiting
applied to the pull rolls. This tension is important for
maintaining a smooth flat finished image.
Coiling
A term used to describe an image rolling up on
itself. This is caused by differences in the brake tension
used between the upper and lower laminates during and
application process.
Cold laminate
Film that does not require heat to activate the
adhesive. Please see P.S.A. for more information.
D waves
A term used to describe a wave pattern caused,
generally, by incorrect paper tension.
Delamination
Refers to either one of two conditions; 1) the
adhesive separating from the laminate substrate, or 2) the
laminate separating from the product being laminated.
Edgewrap
A mounting technique where the image wraps
around the edges of the mounting substrate so as to provide
a finished edge.

Encapsulation
When an image is completely encased in laminating
film, it is encapsulated. A border of laminate on laminate
exists around the perimeter of the product.
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.
