LAMINATION
a)	If using pressure sensitive laminates, allow the glue bond to fully harden for at least 8 hours, before inserting into the cassette - ideally 24 hours
b)	For the ultimate results, use the 'sledge' laminating technique eg apply mounting film to a board at least 10 cm larger than the banner but leave the release liner in place. Laminate the banner to the board, allow the glue to harden for as long as possible, then remove, trim and insert into the cassette, ideally 2/3 hours on the board, 24 hours before rolling into the cassette.
LAMINATION - ALL MEDIA TYPES
To ensure an image is permanently bonded to the laminate, it is essential to avoid over-inking the media. A simple test is to sight the media obliquely to the light. If the areas of heavy CMYK coverage are of a different, more matt texture to the rest of the print, the ink limits are too high. More importantly, the laminate will not stick as well to such areas. Finally it is critical the medi ais full dry. Allow 2-3 hours on very heavily inked images BEFORE laminating. Do not store unlaminated media in a damp, unheated room - it will pick up moisture and prevent a good bond.
