1. See process chart 3-1.
2. Shims: Set to the thickness of the material being
used for mounting.
3. Upper Laminator Roll Pressure: 10–30%.
4. Speed: 3 fpm (1 m/min).
5. Upper Laminator Roll Heat: 240°F (115 °C).

1. Lay the print on the board. Using a tack iron, tack
the leading edge of the print down onto the board
so it is held in place.
2. Put a piece of contact/release paper over the print
and board. Otherwise, adhesive will be applied to
the laminating roll, which can cause damage and
the ink from electrostatic prints will be deposited
on the roll.
3. Feed the print/board package through the nip.

The following procedure is for one-step mounting and
heat-activated laminating using mounting board with
one adhesive side.

1. See process chart 3-2.
2. Mount the film and web as shown in diagram
3-2.
3. Set the nip for the substrate thickness by raising or
lowering the upper main roll using the hand crank.
4. Laminator Roll Pressure: 10–30%.
5. Speed: 3 fpm (1 m/min).
6. Upper Laminator Roll Heat: 240°F (115 °C).

1. See process chart 3-3.
2. Laminating Roll Pressure: 30-40%.
3. Speed: 0-6 fpm (0-3 cpm).
4. Upper Laminator Roll Heat: 230°F (110 °C).
5. Lower Laminator Roll Heat: 32°F (0 °C).
6. Cooling: Optional.
7. Use of the rear wind-up roll for the finished mate-
rial is optional. It is a good procedure for long runs.

Feed the work into the nip with the leading edge tight
and entering the nip evenly from side to side. For thin
paper from electrostatic printers in roll form it is best to
fold over the leading edge approximately 6 inches to
create a square leading edge.

There are several approaches to the mount/laminate
task. It can be accomplished with either hot or cold
laminate film on the top. Also, the second pass for
mounting can be done by feeding from either the front
or back of the laminator.

See process charts 3-4, 3-5A & B, and 3-6A & B for
film mounting instructions and machine adjustments.

1. Run the print through to apply adhesive and lami-
nate.
2. Trim to slightly larger than the desired finished
size.
