5.5.6 Encapsulation
Encapsulation is the term for sealing an image with heat sensitive laminates on both sides.
Note:
The heated rollers need time to reach their set temperature (e.g. from room temperature
to maximum takes approximately 1 hour). It is recommended to let the machine run at
low speed, to avoid uneven hot spots.
•
Switch ON both heaters.
•
Set the temperatures (see the specifications of the materials used) and allow
ample time to reach the set temperature.
•
Set the upper pull roller in the upper position before webbing and lock it in position.
•
The procedure is the same as the double-sided lamination above (section 5.5.5).
5.5.7 Decaling
When decaling, a laminate is put over the image side and an adhesive backing is put on
the backside of the image.
•
The process is the same as double-sided lamination (section 5.5.5).
This decal can later be mounted onto a panel or other substrate.
5.6 Settings
Every laminate and every image material has different characteristics. So it is important to
start off with a test image to find out the best settings for an optimum result.
This machine works best when the pressure is set to approximately 80%.
When the result is still silvering (gray spots at both edges of the result) the pressure can
be increased, but it is also possible that the temperature or the speed is not correct.
When the result or the materials entering show wrinckles, the pressure or the tension
might be incorrect.
For example:
•
Cold laminates often need little unwind tension,
•
Whereas hot laminates need more unwind tension,
•
When the film wrinckles before and on the main roller tension must be increased,
•
When encapsulating, the pull rollers must be used to avoid wrinckles in the result.
Refer to the trouble shooting section 6.3 for more problem solving suggestions.
