5. Lift up the remainder of the overlaminating
fi
lm (which is still protected by the release liner) and slide the
graphic image face underneath it. Stop before it makes contact with the exposed part of the adhesive. It is
important to keep the
fi
lm adhesive away from the graphic until the whole assembly is under pressure and
traveling through the machine.
6. Lay the overlaminating
fi
lm over the top of the upper roller. While holding up the edge of the peeled back
release liner with one hand, start the rollers and apply the overlaminating
fi
lm to the surface of the graphic.
Pull up and away on the release liner as your graphic travels through the machine. Ensure that the release
liner does not reach the point where the graphic makes contact with the top roller. Complete this step with a
consistent motion and do not stop until the entire graphic has passed through the rollers.
7. The laminated graphic can now be easily removed from the silicone-coated Carrier Board for trimming and
mounting.
Laminating Single Mounted Image
Before processing, make sure that the graphic image is clean and free of dust or specks of lint. An anti-static cloth or
anti-static wisk is recommended for cleaning the graphic prior to lamination.
1. Raise the top roller and insert the mounted graphic image into the roller Nip area. Adjust the roller pressure.
2. Pre-cut a sheet of overlaminating
fi
lm from the roll. The sheet should be larger than the graphic image by
approximately 0.25” (6mm) on the bottom and and each side and 3” (75mm) longer on the top.
3. Peel and fold back approximately 2” (50mm) of release liner, exposing the adhesive of the overlaminating
fi
lm.
4. Tack approximately 1.5” (38mm) of the
fi
lm to the Leader Board but not over the mounted graphic.
