D waves
A term used to describe a wave pattern caused,
generally, by incorrect paper tension.
Delamination
Refers to either one of two conditions; 1) the
adhesive separating from the laminate substrate, or 2) the
laminate separating from the product being laminated.
Edgewrap
A mounting technique where the image wraps
around the edges of the mounting substrate so as to provide
a finished edge.
Encapsulation
When an image is completely encased in laminating
film, it is encapsulated. A border of laminate on laminate
exists around the perimeter of the product.
Film
A two part material consisting an adhesive layer
and a substrate. The adhesive and the substrate may or
may not be clear. This is the material used for lamination.
Please refer to laminate.
Foamboard
A material commonly used as a mounting
substrate. It is made up of foam sandwiched between
two layers of paper, or paper like media.
Inkjet
A term used to describe a type of printing where
an ink is projected topically onto a paper or paper like
media. This is a non contact form of printing.
Laminate
A two part material consisting of an adhesive layer
and a substrate. The adhesive and the substrate may or
may not be clear. This is the material used for lamination.
Main rollers
These are the rolls that perform the actual
lamination. They are rolls capable of being heated in
thermal roll laminators and are usually larger in diameter
than the pull rolls.
Media
Term used to describe the materials used to print
an image, i.e. the papers, inks, toners, etc.
Mount adhesive
A term used to describe a two sided pressure
sensitive adhesive used in mounting images to various
substrates. This material can come with one or two release
liners and may be optically clear for face mounting
applications.
Nip
The interrelationship of any two rolls. The distance
between the closest points of the two rolls is referred to
as the nip of the rolls.
