Decaling with PSA films is where you laminate items
and then mount them on other materials such as
Foam Core or mounting board. It is performed in
two passes. The first pass laminates and applies
the mounting adhesive, encapsulating the item. The
second pass mounts it on the other material.
This two pass operation requires pressure sensitive
laminating film on the top supply shaft and pressure
sensitive mounting film on the bottom supply shaft.
Note: The chill idler must be removed for these
processes. Refer to Removing and Installing the Chill
Idler in this chapter.
To run the first pass:
Fig. 6-17. Web Configuration for the First Pass With PSA
Film.
Web the laminator as shown in Fig 5-17.
Adjust the roller pressure handle to the proper
laminating setting.
Set the desired speed.
Press RUN.
Place the item to be laminated on the feed table
and guide it into the rollers.
When the item has cleared the back of the
laminator, press
STOP.
