QUIKMOUNT 4 Cold Laminator

Daige
Quikmount 4
An affordable cold laminator

Great for laminating, mounting prints to boards or applying transfer tapes

Provides many of the features found in more expensive laminators including:
• Heavy duty motor
• Automatic take up shaft
• Shaft for liner paper in front
• Silicone covered rollers
• Rugged steel and aluminum construction

Quikmount makes laminating easy. Just follow a few simple steps

1. insert the hubs into the laminate core
(all laminate rolls have 3” cores)


2. shafts lift easily out of channels, so laminate rolls can be changed quickly. Collars keep the rolls in place on the shaft.


3. Two pulleys (one is hidden in the photo) and a belt drive the take up shaft


4. two knobs set the height and pressure
of top roller (it is easy to set the pressure properly)
Accepts boards up to 1” thick.


5. thread liner paper (from front shaft)
between the rollers. This will keep the laminate
from sticking to the rollers while laminating.


6. tape release paper (from back of laminate)
to core on take up shaft.


7. thread laminate through rollers.


8. run your print through the rollers.


After the print exits out the back, go to the back of the laminator, cut off the laminate, trim and you have a perfectly laminated print. You can then simply run through the next print without going through any more set up since the laminate and liner paper are already threaded through the rollers.

Options

Rolling stand is made from steel with four castors. It makes your Quikmount 4 mobile, while saving table space. Silver entry deck is 37” high when placed on stand.


footswitch provides hands free control


Apply mounting adhesive

Place a roll of mounting adhesive on the back shaft (for most adhesives you do not need the take up shaft). Run your board through to apply adhesive. It comes out with a release paper covering the adhesive on the board so you can use it at any time.


Mount prints to boards

1.Pull back the first two inches of the release liner covering your board or media to expose the adhesive. Position your print on the board, then rub down the first two inches to the exposed adhesive.

2. Place the board/print into the Quikmount rollers, drape the print over the top roller (as shown in photo) and run it through the rollers. You get a smooth mount every time.

You do not need to use release paper under the entire print. You can do a long print with two sheets 12" wide by the length of your laminate roll (i.e if you use 38" laminate the sheet would be 38" long). You have to have a sheet between the laminate and the bottom roller so the laminate does not go down with the bottom roller. You need this on any laminator you use. You use one sheet in front of the print and another in back of the print. The release liner sheets come from all the release liner that builds up on the take up reel so it does not cost you anything.

Works very well for laminating and mounting photos to gator

The 25" would be fine for 24" photos
