Note: You may want to run a test lamination first as any item that passes between the heat shoes will be laminated and cannot be recovered until it exits the rear of the laminator.
5.Additional items may be fed in sequence, keeping enough distance between sheets for trimming.
6.After the last item has exited the pull rollers, turn the motor switch off.
7.Use the zippy cutter to cut across the film to remove the laminated items from the unit.
Coating Mount Board
The MightyLam 2700 is capable of applying an adhesive coating on up to 3/16” uncoated mount board.
1.Load a roll of adhesive, with the liner wound to the outside, onto the top mandrel in the same manner as with laminating film. Thread the liner side of the adhesive over the top idler roller (so that the adhesive does not stick to the idler roller) and then through the laminator as with laminating film.
2.If the mount board is the same width as the roll of adhesive it is not necessary to load anything onto the bottom mandrel. If the mount board is narrower than the adhesive, load a roll of paper or film onto the bottom mandrel to keep the adhesive from accumulating on the rollers and heat shoes. Thread as for laminating film.
3.Using the supplied allen wrench back out the four pressure adjustment screws 1 full turn for each 1/16” thickness of the board. I.e. 3/16” 3 full turns. (Be sure to count the number of turns so the screws can be returned to original position).
4.Turn heat switch to ON position if heat is needed for the application.
5.Set the temperature to the desired setting, depending upon the type of adhesive used.
6.Feed the uncoated mount board into the laminator behind a leader board of the same thickness. The leader board will prevent the compression of the leading edge of your mount board.
7.You may coat subsequent boards now, one directly behind the other, so that the board in front becomes the leader board. If at any time you have adhesive going through the machine without mount board, be sure to pull the adhesive on the exit side of the machine to prevent a
Mounting & Laminating
The MightyLam 2700 is capable of simultaneously mounting and laminating a print on up to 3/16” mount board.
Preparing your print for mounting:
1.Peel back about 2” of release liner on your
2.Align the top edge of your print with the top edge of the mount board (see figure 9).
