Clutch tension | Encapsulation |
The tension that is applied to the laminated material between the main and pull rolls. This tension is applied by having the pull rolls turn faster than the main rolls, and then having some form of clutching or torque limiting applied to the pull rolls. This tension is important for maintaining a smooth flat finished image.
Coiling
A term used to describe an image rolling up on itself. This is caused by differences in the brake tension used between the upper and lower laminates during and application process.
Cold laminate
Film that does not require heat to activate the adhesive. Please see P.S.A. for more information.
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
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.
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 noncontact form of printing.
Craft paper
A strong brown paper commonly used for single sided applications.
Laminate
Edgewrap
A mounting technique where the image wraps around the edges of the mounting substrate so as to provide a finished edge.
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.
