Hints, Tips and Testing Results
Xerox testing has shown the following:
Many laminate materials have been tested. Testing with the HiTac
laminate from GBC and the Aggressive Adhesive from D&K have
shown favorable results.
The temperature at the paper laminate interface should reach
approximately 250° F (121°C). Paper temperature thermometers
can be used to measure the highest temperature reached during the
lamination process.
There are primarily two different lamination processes: Roll and
Shoe. In each system, the heat application is in different places.
In the Roll process, the heat is applied very close to the paper
laminate interface, therefore, there is less heat loss when the
laminate merges with the paper.
The Shoe process applies the heat farther away from the paper
laminate interface than the Roll system. This means there is more
heat loss between the laminate interface and paper. With the Shoe
system, it is important to maintain proper heat temperature
throughout the entire process.
