MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS

The USI ProMount Plus 2700 is especially designed to laminate and mount up to 1⁄4" thick.
Mounting greatly improves the presentation.
Thermal mounting is the process of adhering a document to a stiff support, backing, or substrate
such as foamboard through the use of adhesives, pressure, and heat. Over 90% of all documents,
prints and similar substrates have the potential to be mounted.
To mount make sure the handle is lifted up to create the gap in the rollers. Position your item
on the mounting board and gently feed it into the rollers. See below for additional tips. For best
results, USI recommends using the time saving mounting boards described below.
The six most popular mounting methods with the ProMount Plus 2700:
1. ProMount Pouch boards – laminate & mount all in one step!
Simply remove the lamination film rolls from the ProMount 2700. Then slide the print between
the board and the film and feed it through the laminator.
If you require an ultra-rigid board to help prevent warping and bow with wide format graphics,
then choose the ProMount Ultra Pouch Boards.
2. ProMount Heat-Activated Foam Boards – for mounting non-laminated prints on a board
with heat-activated thermal adhesive. Remove the lamination film rolls from the ProMount 2700.
Then place the print between the board and the release liner and feed it through the laminator.
TIP: Make sure the shiny silicone side of the release liner is against the board.
3. ProMount Self – Adhesive Foam Boards – for mounting laminated or non-laminated prints.
Remove the lamination film rolls from the ProMount 2700. Then peel back the release liner to
reveal the pressure-sensitive adhesive. Position the print and press firmly.
If desired, you can laminate while applying the print at the same time too.
4. ProMount Foam Boards (No Adhesive) – Coat the board with a spray adhesive and mount
print.
5. Encapsulate with ProMount Foam Boards – laminates both sides of board for a strong, rigid
finish. Place the print on either a heat activated or self-adhesive foam board and then feed the
board through the laminator.
6. Mount and Create a Self-Adhesive Sign, Poster, or Sticker...all-in one step.
Install USI's Pressure Sensitive-Back Decal lamination film on the bottom roller and USI
OptiClear or DigiSeal film on top. Then run print through laminator and peel & stick print onto a
mounting board or other substrate.
