(413-550 kPa).
•
Pull Roll Clutch Air Pressure: 60-80 psi
(413-550 kPa).
•
Pull Roll Up/Down: Down
•
Pull Roll Air Pressure: 60-80 psi (413-550 kPa).
•
Speed Adjust: 3-8 fpm (0.9-2.4 m/min).
•
Upper Heater Controller: 220 °F (104 °C).
•
Lower Heater Controller: 220 °F (104 °C).
•
Cooling Fan: Off.
•
Use of the rear wind-up roll for the finished mate-
rial is optional. It is a good procedure for long runs.

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.

See process charts 3-4, 3-5, 3-6, 3-7 and diagrams
3-4a, 3-5a, 3-6a, and 3-7a for film mounting instruc-
tions and machine adjustments.
Be sure that the mounting film from the bottom side
has the sticky (adhesive) side riding up around the out-
side of the bottom laminating roll.

1. Run the print through to apply adhesive and lami-
nate.
2. Trim to slightly larger than the desired finished
size.

1. Prepare to put the print through a second time to
mount the print to the substrate such as wood, Mas-
inote, Gator foam, or similar materials. Start by set-
ting the shims to the appropriate spacing for the
material used.
2. Trim the board to the size of the print.
3. Align the work to the board and ensure an exact fit.
Place weights on the center of the print to make
sure that it does not move relative to the board dur-
ing the next steps.
4. Raise one end of the print and peel back approxi-
mately two inches of the liner to expose the adhe-
sive that was applied to the print in the first pass.
Fold it under.
5. Lay the print back down evenly and extremely flat.
From the center outward, tack the exposed adhe-
sive to the substrate.
6. Position the piece so that the end with the liner
peeled back is facing the nip. Insert the first one
inch of the board into the nip. Very carefully wrap
the print back and over the top laminating roll. Be
sure there are no wrinkles in the nip area. Carefully
peel off the liner as the board progresses through
the laminator.
7. Trim the piece to the finished size.
