Single sided Lamination
:
The Series II laminators may be used for single side lamination with specifically the smaller models for
items such as book covers. These laminators are capable of laminating short-run one-sided applications
One sided – general:
1. For good results the laminate that you use should be specifically designed for one-sided
applications ProLam recommends using nylon films these film typically are designed to breath and
move with the paper however many of our customers successfully use polypropylene and vinyl.
2. We recommended you use a laminating film that is slightly narrower than the product being
laminated so to prevent the adhesive on the film from touching the laminating rollers.
3. Try to not allow any film adhesive to contact the bottom roller. Some film adhesives stick to our
rollers others do not.
4. While threading, the films make sure to follow the threading card with a scrap page that is wider
than the film. This page will sit between the two laminating rollers to minimize film contact.
5. While laminating, either butt the pages together or overlap (shingle) the pages and trim the paper
after lamination.
6. Use minimal or no tension on the mandrel. This greatly affects film curl.
7. Always laminate using the top roller NEVER the bottom roller. This will overheat the machine and
cause permanent damage to the roller.
8. Always gap the rollers when not in use.
9. Use of the fans will affect film curl.
