Selecting from the Lamination Type dropdown menu

Use the Lamination Type dropdown menu to select the correct option.

Step

Procedure

Select the PolyGuard Lamination for either the 1.0 mil or 0.6 mil thick patch.
(Note: These both offer equivalent protection but require different heat settings
and lamination speeds.)

Select the PolyGuard Alternating Patch option only if using PolyGuard material
that has alternating patch configurations on the same roll (e.g., full patch on the
front of the card and half patch on the back).

Select the Film Lamination option to apply the film lamination to the printed card
and then the card is ejected.

Select the Overlay then Film Lamination option to apply the ribbon's clear
overlay panel to the printed card first and then the film lamination is applied. (Note:
This is a slightly slower way to apply the film lamination, but it provides higher film
durability due to the added protection of the ribbon overlay.)

Select the Film Lamination then Overlay option to apply the film lamination to the
printed card first and then the ribbon's clear overlay panel is applied. (Note: (Note:
This is the slowest method to apply the film lamination, but it provides maximum
film durability due to the added protection of the ribbon overlay. Use this film
lamination option when laminating with the film material.)

Caution #1: Select the Overlay then Film Lamination or Film

Lamination then Overlay option and use a ribbon that provides a clear overlay
panel. (Note: The ribbon types that do not provide an overlay panel or support
overlay printing are the resin-only ribbons and the Full-Color YMCKK ribbon.)
Avoid using these types of ribbons in conjunction with these Thermal Transfer Film
options.

Caution #2: With any of these PolyGuard options, do not apply the

ribbon overlay (O) when laminating with PolyGuard.
