Pressure sensitive materials
In most cases, any “silvering” in the image after
laminating will disappear with in a 24 hours of the curing
time. Time and amount of curing will vary from various
types of films. The release liner on pressure sensitive films
should separate just above the main roller.
U se film brake tension to control the
separation point of the release lin er.

6.0 Applications
The Falcon 60 C can accommodate Poly-in or
Poly-out films. Poly-out means the adhesive is on the
outside of the roll.
The release liner from the film must contact the
main rollers with adhesive facing out when exposed.
The top and bottom rolls of laminating film must
be of the same width and be present simultaneously. If
performing a single sided lamination process, a craft paper
carrier or a substrate of the same width must be used in
place of the bottom laminate.
W A R N I N G
Do not wear ties, loose fit 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.
The process control charts and web diagrams
illustrated in this section are reference points only.
Parameters will vary with regards to laminate
thickness, laminate widths, laminate types, print
types, ink or toner types, paper types, environment
conditions and operator experience.
