TIPS FOR CREATING A DECAL
(Figure 37)
1. Load the laminator as illustrated
in Figure 37.
2. The over laminate may be PSA
or thermal type.
Output
3. If using thermal type, pay
attention to the Poly-in/ Poly-out
rule.
4. Run a test material prior to
running the actual image to
ensure flat output.
5. Use minimal brake tension to
achieve quality output.
6. Do not web the PSA mount
adhesive around the lower web
idler.
TIPS FOR MOUNTING A DECAL
(Figure 38)
1. This application can also be
performed from the front
operating position. Reference
Figure 35 for illustration.
2. Use a leader board to set the
pull roller pressure prior to
mounting the image.
3. The image should not exceed
the width of the board by more
than 1 in. (2.54 cm) per side.
Baord
4. Tack about 1 in. (2.54 cm) of
the leading edge of the decal to
the leading edge of the board.
5. When tacking the leading edge,
start in the center and work to
the sides.
6. Use a board that exceeds the
size of the decal if
inexperienced in the mounting
application.
TIPS FOR THERMAL
ENCAPSULATION (Figure 39)
1. Load the laminator as illustrated
in Figure 39. Poly-in film is used
for illustration purpose.
2. Refer to section entitled FILM
LOADING & THREADING for
Output
Poly-out film.
3. Always use two rolls of film the
same width.
4. Use minimal brake tension to
achieve flat output.
5. Increase speed gradually to
maintain the activating
temperature required for the
laminate you are using.
6. Length and width of image, ink
coverage and paper type may
effect the temperature and
speed recommended in the
SPEED/ TEMPERATURE GUIDE.
