Methods, apparatus, and system for a protecting an optical lens material during formation of a dimensional image article. A heat compression laminator including a cushioning assembly provides an insulating barrier between the lower compression assembly of the heat compression laminator and the individual lenses of an optical lens material, such as the lenticules on a lenticular lens material. The cushioning web protects the optical lens material so as to prevent significant deformation during the application of heat and pressure in a laminating step. Use of the cushioning web can be especially advantageous during formation of clear, transparent, or semi-transparent dimensional image articles.
