Section 1.  Introduction 

 
 

The 

AquaSEAL™ AS-1600 

is a medium to large format media liquid laminator used 

to coat graphics with a protective sealant.  Operating roll to roll, the media is 
threaded under  the applicator mechanism, under the drying assembly, and onto the 
take-up roller.  During operation, the liquid laminator applies sealant onto the printed 
graphics and then cures and dries it before winding the media onto the take-up core.
