<strong>GBC</strong> <strong>1264WF</strong>/<strong>1244WF</strong>Operation ManualTips for Creating a Decal1. Load the laminator as illustrated in Fig. 18.2. The over laminate may be PSA or thermal type.3. If using thermal type, pay attention to the Polyin/Poly-outrule.4. Run a test material prior to running the actual image toensure flat output.5. Use minimal brake tension to achieve quality output.6. Do not web the PSA mount adhesive around the lowerweb idler.RELEASE LINER FROM PSA FILMIMAGEMOUNTADHESIVETHERMALOR PSAFILMOUTPUTTips for mounting a Decal1. Use a leader board to set the pull roller pressure priorto mounting the image.2. The image should not exceed the width of the board bymore than 1 in. (2.54 cm) per side.3. Tack about 1 in. (2.54 cm) of the leading edge of thedecal to the leading edge of the board.4. When tacking the leading edge, start in the center andwork to the sides.5. Use a board that exceeds the size of the decal ifinexperienced in the mounting application.Fig. 18DECALRELEASE LINERBOARDNote: This application can also be performed from thefront operating position.Tips for Thermal Encapsulation1. Load the laminator as illustrated in Fig. 20 Poly-infilm is used for illustration purpose.2. Refer to section entitled FILM LOADING &THREADING for Poly-out film.3. Always use two rolls of film the same width.4. Use minimal brake tension to achieve flat output.5. Increase speed gradually to maintain the activatingtemperature required for the laminate you are using.6. Length and width of image, ink coverage and papertype may affect the temperature and speedrecommended in the SPEED/ TEMPERATUREGUIDE.IMAGEFig.19THERMALFILMOUTPUTTHERMALFILMFig. 20© 2006 General Binding Corporation Page 33
