VERLAMINATION
Mounting and overlamination is where you mount
and laminate items in one pass. This can be
performed with thermal films or thermal pouch
boards.
Tip:
When mounting, always start with a short leader
board of the same material as the mounting board.
Feed this in first and then butt the leading edge
of the next board to the trailing edge of the leader
board. Continue to butt boards together and finish
with another scrap board.

With thermal films, use the top supply film roll or
board pouches. Board pouches come with the
thermal film attached.
This process requires that the top heat pressure
roller be set for the temperature for the specific film.
The bottom heat pressure roller temperature is set to
its lowest temperature.
For pouch boards, follow the instructions packaged
with the boards.
Remove the chill idler. Refer to Removing and
Installing the Chill Idler in this chapter.
