DECALING

This process involves applying a hot or cold laminate on

the face of the image and a pressure sensitive adhesive

on the back. This process is used to create self-adhesive

images for mounting on various substrates.

n Prepare the films that you will use on the top and

bottom of the images. It is advisable to use slightly

wider films in comparison to the print width. This will

allow you to trim the print and leave a border. Mount

the rolls onto the unwind shafts so the adhesive side

will not contact the rolls.

Webbing

n Step one - Pull the pressure sensitive adhesive from

the bottom unwind, around the front of the bottom

roller, and lay evenly across the top roller.

n Step two - If you are using film without a release

liner, pull the film down from the top unwind. Lay the

film down evenly over the rollers. If you are using

film with a release liner, pull the film down from the

top unwind. Separate the film from the release liner

and lay the film evenly over the face of the rollers.

The films will then stick together.

n Connect the release liner to the windup tube with a

piece of tape. Attaching the release liner to a

cardboard core (over the windup tube) will allow for

easier cleanup.

n Step three – Push the films into the main roller nip

using a leader board.

n Step four – Close the rollers and depress the

footswitch. Advance the leader board between the

rollers until it clears the back of the laminator. You

may now cut off the leader board. Do not use the

Pull rolls.

n Step five – Run the film and apply brake tension to

the unwind shafts to remove wrinkles. Run for

approximately 3 feet (1 M). If wrinkles persist cut the

film and web the laminator again.

n Step six – Feed your images.
