MATERIAL SIZES
Almost any pliable substrate up to 18 in. (45.7 cm) in
width can be coated using the ACCU-18XE
Laminator. Exceptions are thin, porous materials such
as newspaper and some pretreated surfaces.
MATERIALS THAT CAN BE COATED
1. All photographic papers.
2. Most substrates used for digital imaging.
NOTE: Always make a test coat using a sample
of the material to be coated with the
ACCU-18XE laminator prior to
production.
CAUTION: Some small size images may fall off
the belt inside the air dryer. To help
prevent this from happening, feed
small size images into the center of
the in-feed slot. If images do fall,
they can be retrieved through the
rear opening of the dryer after the
main power is turned OFF.
CAUTION: Small images should be fed into the
machine leading with the corner
versus the edge, so that they don’t
hang-up.
ADDITIONAL COATS
1. Adding additional coats by sending an image
through the laminator several times will:
•
Increase moisture resistance.
•
Give images a different, more textured look.
2. An image that has previously been coated with one
type of lacquer can be recoated with a different type
of lacquer.
3. An image previously coated can be spot cleaned
using a Q-tip soaked in alcohol, and may be coated
again. (This may require several passes.)
