Section 6 Applications
The Explorer 107 can accommodate Poly-in or
Poly-out films. Poly-out means the adhesive is on the
outside of the roll. Each film requires a slightly different
loading procedure.
The shiny side of clear film must contact the heating
components with the dull sides ( adhesive side ) facing
out. Use caution when loading matte or delustered film
since both sides appear dull.
The top and bottom rolls of laminating film must
be of the same width and be present simultaneously.
W A R N I N G
Do not wear ties, loose fitting clothing or
dangling jewelry while operating or
servicing the laminator. These items can get
caught in the nip and choke you or you can
be crushed or burned.
The procedures and parameters described
in this section are reference points only. Parameters
will vary with regards to laminate thickness, laminate
widths, laminate types, print types, ink or toner types,
environment conditions and operator experience.
