TRANSFER LAMINATION

摘要

A laminator (140) comprises a laminating head (146) and a processor (154). The laminating head comprises a plurality of heating elements (148). Each heating element has an activated state (180), in which the heating element is powered by a current, and a deactivated state (182), in which the heating element is not powered by a current. The processor selectively places the individual heating elements in the activated or deactivated state. The selective activation and deactivation of the heating elements is used to bond at least a portion (188) of an overlaminate material (100) to a surface (142) of a substrate (144).
