Laminator Compatibility |
It's recommended that your laminator be equipped with a release liner take-up reel. All LexJet laminates are provided on 3" standard cores. |
Laminator Settings |
Apply 80-100 psi and use 2-3 feet per minute for dwell time. Between 90° to 100° F heat is recommended, to help the adhesive flow will produce a more consistent adhesion to the print. All substrates should be tested for your specific application prior to final job production. |
Using a Sled |
It is strongly recommended that you use a rigid sled (1/8" or thicker) such as polycarbonate, acrylic, masonite or aluminum. This will ensure consistent pressure across the web. Apply a release liner to your sled to prevent adhesive build-up. Use strong tape, such as packaging tape, to attach the entire width of the leading edge of the graphic to the sled. |
Adhesive Cure Time |
After applying the laminate, allow curing for a minimum of 2 hours before cutting or trimming. Maximum bond strength is reached in 24 hours. |
