When more panels have to be pre-coated feed them in continuously without any gap.
At the end, use a leader board again to finish. This prevents the adhesive from touching
the bottom roller.
6. Butt up and feed the last leader board until the previous panel is out of the nip.
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 panel free.
8. Back-up the leader board using the reverse.
9. Cut the film using a blade cutter.
After removing the release liner from the pressure sensitive mounting film, the board has
an adhesive coating ready to mount an image. See section 5.5.1 for mounting images.
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).
5.5.4
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.
