APPLYING AN OVER-LAMINATE
An Over-laminate with a release liner can be applied to
your mounted prints, photographs or images on
photographic papers. A Sled (refer to Glossary) is
needed to support non-mounted prints during the
laminating process. Non-mounted prints are placed face
up on the sled and over-laminated as the sled passes
through the rollers. Follow the same basic procedures
for over-laminating mounted prints, eliminating the sled
use.
For double-sided laminating (encapsulating), over-
laminate and trim the first side and then repeat the
process for the second side.
MEDIA: INK JET, ELECTROSTATIC, AND
PHOTOGRAPHIC
FILMS:
Top Unwind: Pressure-sensitive Adhesive
Bottom Unwind: NA
LAMINATOR SETTINGS:
FRONT CONTROL PANEL
Main Roller Pressure: 35-40 PSI
Motor Speed Setting: 3-5 FPM (1-1.5 MPM)
WEBBING SETTINGS

IMPORTANT! Ensure that the Shim Wheel
settings of the rollers correspond to the board /
sled thickness.
NOTE! Web the top laminate following the basic
procedures for webbing films with a release liner
for your specific location.
NOTE: When over-laminating mounted prints, or
non-mounted prints on sleds, ensure that the board
follows directly behind the leader board without
any gaps.
NOTE: Follow the last board being processed with
another leader-board again to allow the final board
to clear the laminating rollers and then stop the
motor and raise the top roller.
