Tips for Creating a Decal
1. Load the laminator as illustrated in Fig. 18.
2. The over laminate may be PSA or thermal type.
3. If using thermal type, pay attention to the Poly-
in/Poly-out rule.
4. Run a test material prior to running the actual image to
ensure flat output.
5. Use minimal brake tension to achieve quality output.
6. Do not web the PSA mount adhesive around the lower
web idler.
Tips for mounting a Decal
1. Use a leader board to set the pull roller pressure prior
to mounting the image.
2. The image should not exceed the width of the board by
more than 1 in. (2.54 cm) per side.
3. Tack about 1 in. (2.54 cm) of the leading edge of the
decal to the leading edge of the board.
4. When tacking the leading edge, start in the center and
work to the sides.
5. Use a board that exceeds the size of the decal if
inexperienced in the mounting application.
Note: This application can also be performed from the
front operating position.
Tips for Thermal Encapsulation
1. Load the laminator as illustrated in Fig. 20 Poly-in
film is used for illustration purpose.
2. Refer to section entitled FILM LOADING &
THREADING for Poly-out film.
3. Always use two rolls of film the same width.
4. Use minimal brake tension to achieve flat output.
5. Increase speed gradually to maintain the activating
temperature required for the laminate you are using.
6. Length and width of image, ink coverage and paper
type may affect the temperature and speed
recommended in the
SPEED/ TEMPERATURE
GUIDE.
