Pro-LX Laminating Card Printer/Encoder User Guide (Rev. 5.0) 33
Printer Components: Laminator
The Printer's internal lamination system is used to choose between both a Thermal Transfer
Film overlaminate and a polyester patch overlaminate called PolyGuard™. The Thermal Film
overlaminate is a relatively thin material that covers a card edge-to-edge and provides a
medium level of ID card durability and security.
PolyGuard is a much thicker material that does not cover edge-to-edge, but provides an
extremely high level of ID card durability and security.
PolyGuard is available in either a 1.0 or .6 mil thickness and should always be used for
those applications requiring the highest degree of ID card durability and security.
PolyGuard and the Thermal Film overlaminates are available in either a clear or generic
"secure" holographic-type design. (Note: Custom holographic-type overlaminate designs
are also available with specific designs, patterns, logos and security features. Please
contact an authorized reseller for more information.)
Caution: If using the Thermal Transfer Film overlaminate, a variety of laminating
options are available within the Printer Driver. Refer to the Using the Lamination tab
description in Section 3, page 134, for complete details about these options.
