1. See process chart 3-1.

2. Shims: Set to the thickness of the material being 

used for mounting.

3. Upper Laminator Roll Pressure: 10–30%.

4. Speed: 3 fpm (1 m/min).

5. Upper Laminator Roll Heat: 240°F (115 °C).

1. Lay the print on the board. Using a tack iron, tack 

the leading edge of the print down onto the board 
so it is held in place.

2. Put a piece of contact/release paper over the print 

and board. Otherwise, adhesive will be applied to 
the laminating roll, which can cause damage and 
the ink from electrostatic prints will be deposited 
on the roll.

3. Feed the print/board package through the nip.

The following procedure is for one-step mounting and 
heat-activated laminating using mounting board with 
one adhesive side.

6HWXS

1. See process chart 3-2.

2. Mount the film and web as shown in diagram 

3-2.

3. Set the nip for the substrate thickness by raising or 

lowering the upper main roll using the hand crank.

4. Laminator Roll Pressure: 10–30%.

5. Speed: 3 fpm (1 m/min).

6. Upper Laminator Roll Heat: 240°F (115 °C).

the leading edge of the print down onto the board

1. See process chart 3-3.

2. Laminating Roll Pressure: 30-40%.

3. Speed: 0-6 fpm (0-3 cpm).

4. Upper Laminator Roll Heat: 230°F (110 °C).

5. Lower Laminator Roll Heat: 32°F (0 °C).

6. Cooling: Optional.

7. Use of the rear wind-up roll for the finished mate-

rial is optional. It is a good procedure for long runs.

3URFHGXUH

Feed the work into the nip with the leading edge tight 
and entering the nip evenly from side to side. For thin 
paper from electrostatic printers in roll form it is best to 
fold over the leading edge approximately 6 inches to 
create a square leading edge.

There are several approaches to the mount/laminate 
task. It can be accomplished with either hot or cold 
laminate film on the top. Also, the second pass for 
mounting can be done by feeding from either the front 
or back of the laminator.

6HWXS

See process charts 3-4, 3-5A & B, and 3-6A & B for 
film mounting instructions and machine adjustments.

1. Run the print through to apply adhesive and lami-

nate.

2. Trim to slightly larger than the desired finished 

size.
