Single-Sided Lamination; Over-Lamination; Double-Sided Lamination - SEAL 80Pro Manual De Uso

At the end, use a leader board again to finish. This prevents the adhesive from touching
the bottom roller.
6. Butt up the leader board and feed it in until the previous panel is out of the nip.
After removing the release liner from the pressure sensitive mounting film, the board has
an adhesive coating ready to mount an image. For mounting images see section 5.5.1.
To unload the machine;
CAUTION:
Do not cut film close to or on the rollers. This will damage the silicone
coating of the rollers and will void the warranty.
7. Cut this leader panel free.
8. Cut the film using a blade cutter.
9. Back-up the leader board using the reverse.

5.5.3 Single-sided lamination

Images are laminated single-sided using carrier (or release) boards. This laminate can be
a heat sensitive laminate or a pressure sensitive adhesive with release liner.
• The image is put on the carrier board with the image side up,
• All steps in this process are the same as when pre-coating a board (section 5.5.2).
Another option is to use release liner as bottom laminate in a double sided lamination
proces (see section 5.5.5). After a laminated image is cut free, the release liner will
separate of itself from the image.

5.5.4 Over-lamination

After an image is mounted to a panel, a protective laminate can be applied. This over-
laminate can be a heat sensitive laminate or a pressure sensitive adhesive with release
liner.
• All steps in this process are the same as when pre-coating a board (section 5.5.2).

5.5.5 Double-sided lamination

Encapsulating images with cold laminates is called double-sided lamination (and is
normally not done with panels).
1. Load and web laminating film in the upper and the lower section.
2. Stick a leader board to the films and feed it through the nip.
3. When the leader board is completely out of the nip, lower the upper roller onto the
bottom roller (nip setting = 0).
4. Now feed the images into the nip, allowing a gap between them.
5. Cut the film with the blade cutter when the images are clear of the rollers.
To unload the machine;
6. Cut both films along the splitter bar using an enclosed blade cutter.
7. Open up the nip and remove the film between the rollers by pulling it out from the rear.
