Applications:
The 3M laminating System is an easy-to-use tape and/or adhesive laminating dispenser to laminate or
apply a clear, durable film or transfer adhesive to documents in a variety of sizes. It is the only system
available on the market that allows a user to laminate, post a sign or use a combination of both functions.
It is recommended for use with most types of printer/copier outputs.

Technical Notes:
1. A roller-cleaning pad is available to clean the rollers in the dispenser. This is to clean the laminating
rolls should they become sticky with adhesive (usually only the case when using transfer adhesive).
Packages of five cleaning pads are available through distribution (LS990).
2. The 3M Laminating Systems are now recommended for photographs. The chemistry of colour or
black & white photographs will not react with the adhesive used in thelaminating system and will not
affect the photographs.
3. Anything laminated with the 3M system should be considered a permanent lamination. The film is
NOT removable without substantial damage to the original that was laminated. For this reason, this
system should not be used to laminate/protect any one-of-a-kind originals (i.e. birth certificates,
marriagelicenses,etc.)
