Hints, Tips and Testing Results

Xerox testing has shown the following:

Many laminate materials have been tested. Testing with the HiTac

laminate from GBC and the Aggressive Adhesive from D&K have

shown favorable results.

The temperature at the paper laminate interface should reach

approximately 250° F (121°C). Paper temperature thermometers

can be used to measure the highest temperature reached during the

lamination process.

There are primarily two different lamination processes: Roll and

Shoe. In each system, the heat application is in different places.

In the Roll process, the heat is applied very close to the paper

laminate interface, therefore, there is less heat loss when the

laminate merges with the paper.

The Shoe process applies the heat farther away from the paper

laminate interface than the Roll system. This means there is more

heat loss between the laminate interface and paper. With the Shoe

system, it is important to maintain proper heat temperature

throughout the entire process.
