This process is used to coat substrates with a
Preparation:
Mount the roll of
Have a leader board ready of the same thickness as the boards to be coated.
1.Pull the adhesive down from the top unwind station and over the top roller evenly, and down across the face of both main rollers. Remove the infeed table and the Image Guide for a moment to do this.
2.Measure the thickness of the board(s) to be coated, and select the correct nip setting.
3.Press the foot switch and, using the leader board, push the adhesive into the roller nip. Release the foot switch when the rear edge of the leader board is almost leaving the roller nip.
4.Position the board to be coated into the nip, and choose a speed setting.
Note:
When coating boards, ensure that the next board to be coated follows the previous board without any gaps.
Follow the last board being coated with the leader board once again to allow the final board to clear the laminating rollers and then stop the motor and raise the top roller.
6.9 Mounting using a ProSEAL® Mounting Board
1.Refer to the instruction sheet packed with each box of ProSEAL Mounting Boards for specific instructions on mounting with a ProSEAL Board.
2.Also, refer to the instruction sheet for information on Compatible Media, Process Conditions and Technical Information.
3.Place the image to be mounted on the
4.Set the Control Knob to the correct setting that matches the Mounting Board thickness.
5.Insert the board into the inlet opening. Ensure the board will enter centered and straight. A gentle push may be required to start the board into the machine. Hold the edges of the board until it is engaged in the unit and the laminator begins pulling it on its own.
6.The board will feed through the laminator and automatically exit at the rear of the unit. CAUTION! The board will be hot! Allow it to lie flat while cooling.
