DECALING (PRESSURE-SENSITIVE)
This process involves applying a cold pressure-sensitive over-laminate to the top and a cold pressure-sensitive
mounting adhesive to the bottom of a graphic. This process can be used to create self-adhesive images for
mounting down onto various substrates. After performing this process, follow the Mounting Instructions in the
manual to apply the decal to a substrate.

NOTE: When using Mounting Adhesive on the back
of images it is best to run over both idlers.
Running the film under the second idler
may cause the backing to separate from the
release liner.
NOTE: Pressure-sensitive films, not requiring heat,
can be run from the front or rear of the
laminator.
