An Over-laminate with a release liner can be applied to 
your mounted prints, photographs or images on 
photographic papers. A Sled (refer to Glossary) is 
needed to support non-mounted prints during the 
laminating process. Non-mounted prints are placed face 
up on the sled and over-laminated as the sled passes 
through the rollers. Follow the same basic procedures 
for over-laminating mounted prints, eliminating the sled 
use.  
For double-sided laminating (encapsulating), over-
laminate and trim the first side and then repeat the 
process for the second side.

IMPORTANT! Ensure that the Shim Wheel 
settings of the rollers correspond to the board / 
sled thickness. 
NOTE! Web the top laminate following the basic 
procedures for webbing films with a release liner 
for your specific location.  
 
NOTE: When over-laminating mounted prints, or 
non-mounted prints on sleds, ensure that the board 
follows directly behind the leader board without 
any gaps.  
 
NOTE: Follow the last board being processed with 
another leader-board again to allow the final board 
to clear the laminating rollers and then stop the 
motor and raise the top roller.
