Work room lighting
Site the laminator in a well ventilated dust free area with suitable room lighting covered with yellow
film which blocks out light wavelengths under 450 nm. This is available from us part number 06-
14061. The film can also be used to cover any windows. N.B. Never leave the dry film photo resist
rolls in daylight or white light for any length of time. Always ensure the laminator is covered with a
suitable black light blocking material when not in use.
The Laminator
The laminator uses two rolls of Photo-resist and only two rolls of the same width can be used up to
450 mm in width for the
18” laminator and 650 mm for the 24” laminator. The dry film photo emulsion
is sandwiched between a polyester cover sheet and a peelable polyolefin sheet. The laminator
removes the polyolefin cover sheet before the film contacts the heated rollers; these rollers then fuse
with heat and pressure the photo emulsion on to both sides of the material. On exit the rear cold
pressure rollers continue to roll and fix the photo emulsion onto the material.
