ENCAPSULATING USING A ProSEAL FLEXIBLE POUCH
Refer to the instruction sheet packed with each box for specific information on encapsulating ProSEAL Flexible Pouches.
In addition, refer to the instruction sheet for information on Compatible Media, Process Conditions and technical information.
The ProSEAL Flexible Pouch consists of two pieces of film that are hinged at one end, along a short side. Separate the two pieces starting at the end opposite the hinge. Take care not to break the hinged seal.
1.Insert the article to be laminated in the pouch so there is at least a 1/8" (3.5mm) board around each of the sides. This ensures that moisture never reaches the image.
2.Place the pouch with the image on the sled included with the Flexible Pouches or ProSEAL Sled.
Note: The ProSEAL Sled is used to assist in the handling of large Flexible Pouches. It is made of materials that will not damage or cause excessive wear to your ProSEAL Laminator.
3.Smooth out any wrinkles with the side of your hand or a soft flexible squeegee.
4.Tape the leading edge of the pouch to the sled using masking tape.
5.Adjust the Control Knob to the 3/16" (5mm) setting for the ProSEAL Sled.
6.Make sure that the LED indicator is constantly ON indicating that the machine is up to temperature.
7.Slowly insert the sled with the Flexible Pouch on top into the inlet opening.
8.Ensure that the sled is centered and straight. A gentle push may be required to start the sled into the laminator.
9.Hold the edge of the sled until it is engaged, and the laminator begins pulling it on its own.
10.The sled should feed through the laminator and automatically exit at the rear of the laminator.
CAUTION! The Sled will be hot! Allow it to lie flat and cool before removing the tape.
If there is any dirt or adhesive on the surface of the board, it can be removed by dampening a lint free cloth with Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) and wiping the surface.
CAUTION! Always use care when using Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA)! IPA is very flammable. The flash point of IPA is 11(51.8).The self- ignition temperature is 400(752).
