TIPS FOR PSA ENCAPSULATION
(Figure 42)
1. Load the laminator as illustrated
in Figure 42.
2. Always use two rolls of the
same width.
3. Use minimal brake tension to
achieve flat output.
4. The separation of the laminate
and the release liner should be
maintained close to the heat
rollers.
5. A little heat, 125
O
F (52
O
C), may
help eliminate silvering effects
associated with PSA films.
6. Use of the chill idler may or may
not help in the output quality. Try
both methods.
TIPS FOR
MICRONEX
(Figure
44)
1. Load the laminator as illustrated
in Figure 44.
2. You must have the Separator
bar option to accurately run this
material.
3. Liner rewind tension will be
greater than normal operating
standards.
4. Do not attempt to run this
material greater than a speed
setting of 4.
5. To prevent some adhesive
adhering to the rollers, you may
choose to use a roll of kraft
paper for a carrier with the roll
to roll rewind option installed.

TIPS FOR THERMAL ENCAPSU-
LATION (Figure 43)
1. Load the laminator as illustrated
in Figure 43 for Poly-in film.
2. Dotted line represents Poly-out
film web path.
3. Always use two rolls of film the
same width.
4. Use minimal brake tension to
achieve flat output.
5. Increase speed gradually to
maintain the activating tempera-
ture required for the laminate
you are using.
6. Length and width of image, ink
coverage and paper type may
effect the temperature and
speed recommended in the
SPEED/ TEMPERATURE GUIDE.
