Applications
Group 2 : Top heat only
Top heat only applications are very similar to
the applications described in Group 1: No heat.
Thermal type ( heat activated ) laminating film will
replace the pressure sensitive type laminating film used
in Group 1: No heat.
The procedures and parameters described
in this section are starting references only.
Parameters will vary with regards to laminate
thickness, laminate widths, laminate types, print
types, ink or toner types, environment conditions,
operator experience and various substrates.
W A R N I N G
Do not wear ties, loose fitting clothing or
dangling jewelry while operating or
servicing the laminator. These items can get
caught in the nip and choke you or you can
be crushed or burned.
6.6 Precoating substrates
This application can only be performed from the
front of the laminator using the main rollers. Use Chart
7 and Diagram 7 for assistance.
Materials needed
• Roll of Hot Tissue Mount adhesive
( or comparable material )
• Substrates to precoat
( Must have a porous surface )
• Leader board
• Trailer board
• Second person
• Utility knife
• Cutting blade with an enclosed casing.
The Hot Tissue must not exceed 1 in. the
width of the substrate. If it does, you
will experience complications with this
application.
INFORMATION
Set up
a) Cut two leader boards 6 inch in length of the
material you are about to precoat.
CAUTION
Sharp edges on a substrate should be filed
smooth and GAP manually adjusted.
Sharp edges can CUT the rollers!
b) Place these two pieces by the laminator for
future use.
