6. Lay the image onto the adhesive side of the Falcon
Board. Tacking the image down with a tacking iron
at this point is sometimes helpful.
7. Push the Falcon board and image up against the
leader board and press the footswitch. Be sure to
maintain paper tension throughout this procedure.
8. Once the board is through the nip and it no longer
continues to feed, disengage the footswitch and
raise the main roll. With a knife, cut the laminate
on the infeed side. Pull the mounted image through
the pull rolls. Do this quickly so as to eliminate the
possibility of getting adhesive on the machine.

NOTE
You can run more than one image and board during a
run of this process. Feed one board after another, until
complete. Make sure that the edge of the board being
fed into the nip is pushed up against the rear edge of
the board already in the nip area.

This process varies only slightly from the One Pass
Mount and Laminate process.
1. Adjust the machine settings as shown in process
chart 3-3.
2. Insert Falcon Board, adhesive side down, into the
nip. Lower the upper main roll until it contacts, and
then turn it another 1/4 turn. Press the footswitch to
remove the board from the nip.
3. Lay the image onto the adhesive side of the Falcon
Board. Tacking the image down with a tacking iron
at this point is sometimes helpful.
4. Press the footswitch and carefully insert the board
and image into the nip. Be sure to keep it perpen-
dicular to the laminating rolls and maintain paper
tension throughout the process.

Note
Some images will release toner or ink to the upper lam-
inating rolls. If this happens, clean immediately with
alcohol. To prevent this problem, a sheet of paper can
be used to cover the image during the mounting pro-
cess.

For this process, the image is first encapsulated and
then mounted.
1. Adjust the machine settings as shown in process
chart 3-4a and remove the infeed table.
2. Web up the overlaminate by bringing it around the
upper film idler and up to the release paper rewind.
Tape the film to the rewind and give it one full
wrap around the rewind tube. Be sure to check the
process control chart to ensure correct web up.
3. With a singe edge razor, cut across the film on the
rewind tube, being sure not to cut through the
release liner or the rolls.
WARNING
4. Peel the film back and drape it over the upper main
roll. To get enough material to do this, it may be
necessary to turn the rewind tube by hand.
5. Pull the mount film straight up from the lower
unwind position. Tack it to the laminate. Be careful
not to stick the film or mount adhesive to the
machine.
6. Insert a starter board into the nip and lower the
upper main roll onto it.
7. Press the footswitch. Once the leader board is
through the nip, lower the upper main roll and then
rotate the crank 1/2 a turn more.
8. Reinstall the infeed table. You can operate with or
without the pull rolls at this point.
9. Encapsulate the images.
Use extreme caution when using the single edge
razor not to damage the rolls or cut yourself.
