HOT PRESS USERS MANUAL

FUNDAMENTALS OF LAMINATING

Laminating is the process of applying a thin clear ﬁ lm to the surface

of a print, photograph or other type of graphic. Drytac manufactures

a wide range of Artshield

The materials are activated by temperatures in the 185°F–210°F

(85°C–99°C) range, with processing times ranging from 2 - 10

minutes. Please check the speciﬁ c product recommendations before

laminating.

1. Cut a piece of ArtShield™ UV HeatSet laminating ﬁ lm (or

other appropriate heat activated laminating ﬁ lm) approximately

1⁄2" (1cm) larger (on all sides) than the print to be laminated. At

this stage, your print may already be mounted or, if you choose,

you may dry mount at a later time without affecting the laminated

ﬁ nish (refer to step 8 below).

2. If the print/graphic to be laminated has a non-breathable

surface such as a resin coated (RC) photograph, it will be

necessary to use a pre-perforated ArtShield laminating ﬁ lm. If

the selected ﬁ lm is not pre-perforated, place it onto a cutting mat

or card stock with the ﬁ lm surface face up. Using a perforating

tool, lightly pierce the ﬁ lm in a crisscross pattern; ensuring the

holes are approximately 1/4" (6mm) apart.

3. A release paper backing protects the adhesive-

coated side of the laminating ﬁ lm. Peel this back

approximately 1" (2.5cm), exposing one edge of

the laminating ﬁ lm. Place your print face up on

a clean work surface. Position your laminate on

top, exposed adhesive edge down. While holding

it ﬁ rmly on the table with one hand, gently pull

the release paper away and toward you from

underneath.

4. Check that there is no dirt or dust trapped under

the laminating ﬁ lm. If necessary, the ﬁ lm may be

gently lifted, the contaminants removed and the

ﬁ lm repositioned.

5. Using a burnishing pad or soft cloth, lightly

smooth the laminating ﬁ lm down onto the print to remove excess

air bubbles.

6. Place the print onto a larger piece of silicone release paper/

ﬁ lm shiny side up.

7. Preheat your press to 180 - 210ºF (82 - 99ºC)*.

8. Cover your work with the foam overlay blanket and place into

the press.

9. Your work piece should be processed for two to ten minutes* -

beginning from the time that the press has achieved the desired

pressure setting.

10. The ﬁ nal result should be a blemish-free ﬁ nish. If any silvering

is apparent under the clear ﬁ lm (especially visible in the dark

areas), re-insert and process for an additional 2-10 minutes*.

Caution: ArtShield™ Glossy laminating ﬁ lm cannot be pierced and is

not recommended for photographs.

* Your actual settings will vary according to

the size of the press, type of dry mounting

tissue, the type of mounting substrate, the

artwork material used (in terms of material)

and the size of the print. See speciﬁ c

product speciﬁ cations for recommended

dwell times (dwell times provided are for

paper graphics).

Note: Put the foam overlay blanket directly

on top of laminating ﬁ lm. Do not put release

paper/ﬁ lm between ﬁ lm and foam overlay

blanket or between foam overlay

blanket and top of press.
