Tips for Creating a Decal
1. Load the laminator as illustrated in Fig. 34.
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. Reference Fig. 31 for
Illustration.
Tips for Thermal Encapsulation
1. Load the laminator as illustrated in Fig. 36
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.
