use any higher temperature for any film than is needed to get an acceptable degree of adhesion, as
measured by an X-test. Remember there are low-temperature films which should run at much lower
temperatures than those cited in this example. (see the chart on film operating temperatures.)
Rolls of film are sometimes spliced. Most film suppliers will mark a splice with colored tape. This
way, you can see the splice as a “dash” of color on either end of the roll. If you spot a spliced roll in
advance, you can put it on the top supply roll mandrel in order to see the splice coming more easily
and avoid putting material under the splice. Or you could put it on the bottom roll if you plan to be
laminating items that will never be seen from the back side.
