Refer to the instruction sheet packed with
each box of Pouch Boards for specific
information on mounting/laminating with a
Pouch Boards.
In addition, refer to the instruction sheet for
information on Compatible Media, Process
Conditions and technical information.
Carefully examine the board to determine
which edge is sealed. There is a 1/8" (3mm)
sealed edge where the laminate film is at-
tached to the board.
Starting at one of the corners, opposite the
sealed edge, gently lift and peel back the film.
Care should be taken not to break the sealed
hinge.
Center the image to be laminated on the
board and lay the film back over it.
Set the Control Knob to the correct setting
that matches the Pouch Board thickness.
Ensure that the PHOENIX rollers are turned on
and set either at the ‘Rabbit’ or ‘Turtle’ speed.
With the Heat is on, set at the ‘Pouch’ setting
and the LED light is Yellow indicating the roll
temperature is ready to use.
Note: If your laminate appears cloudy or
your print is not fully adhered to the
board, adjust the speed to the ’Turtle’
setting and reprocess your pouch board.
Slowly insert the Pouch Board into the inlet
opening. Ensure that the Pouch Board will
enter centered and straight. A gentle push
may be required to start the board into the
laminator.
Hold the edges of the Pouch Board until it is
engaged and the laminator begins pulling it
on its own.
The Pouch Board will feed through the
laminator and automatically exit at the rear
of the unit.
CAUTION! The board will be hot! Allow
it
to lie flat while cooling.
If there is any dirt or adhesive on the sur-
face of the board, it can be removed by
dampening a lint free cloth with Isopropyl
Alcohol (IPA) and wiping the surface.
CAUTION! Always use care when using
Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA)! IPA is very
flammable. The flash point of IPA is 11ºC
(51.8ºF). The self-ignition temperature is
400ºF (752ºF).
