Using a Heat Activated Mounting Board

Refer to the instruction sheet packed with
each box of Mounting Boards for specific
information on mounting with a heat acti-
vated Boards. All boards can not be thicker
than 1/4” inch and must use low tempera-
ture adhesive.

Also, refer to the instruction sheet for
information on Compatible Media, Process
Conditions and technical information.

Place the image to be mounted on the ad-
hesive-coated side of the mounting board
(dull side of the board).

Cover your print with the "cover sheet" as
marked (included with each box of
Mounting Boards or use a sheet of non-stick
silicon paper). If the release paper is
longer, fold over the narrow end to make a
’pocket’ for the board to be inserted into.
Place your board with your print on it into
the fold of the cover sheet.

If you are overlaminating with roll film
while using Phoenix mount boards, do
not use any cover sheets but insure the
laminating film is equal to or wider
than your mount boards.

Set the Roller Gap Control knob to the cor-
rect setting that matches the Mounting
Board thickness.

Insert the board into the inlet opening. En-
sure the board will enter centered and
straight. A gentle push may be required to
start the board into the laminator.

Hold the edges of the board until it is en-
gaged in the unit and the laminator begins
pulling it on its own.

The board will feed through the lamina-
tor and automatically exit at the rear of
the unit.

CAUTION! The board will be hot! Al-
low it to lie flat while cooling.

CAUTION! USE ONLY WITH HEAT ACTI-
VATED MOUNTING BOARDS 1/4" (6mm)
THICK OR LESS.

DO NOT USE PLYWOOD, METAL,
CARDBOARD, SHARP OR HARD BOARD
WITH RAGGED EDGES OR ANY TYPE OF
PLASTIC.

MAKE SURE THAT ALL MEDIA FED INTO
THE LAMINATOR IS FREE OF STAPLES,
PAPER CLIPS, OR OTHER HARD
OBJECTS.

Foam board may be cut or trimmed using
a sharp hobby knife such as an X-ACTO
Knife. Lightly score the paper first. Sev-
eral passes of the knife may be required.

We recommend a professional grade
trimmer with a standard utility knife
blade be used for professional and fast
results.

NOTE:
Ragged cuts or pulling of the foam
board indicates a dull blade.
