MHL Scribe 3mil 51" x 500' Dry Erase Thermal Laminating Film
MHL Scribe is an economical thermal overlaminating film with a dry-erase gloss finish. It can be written on with black dry-erase markers and wiped clean with a dry cloth or eraser. The most common applications for MHL Scribe include re-usable presentation boards, schedules, vacation planners, maps and courtroom displays. MHL Scribe can also be used in conjunction with Ferro to create dry-erase magnet-receptive calendars and coaches play boards. However, MHL Scribe is not recommended for coated inkjet output with high ink coverage or for use with colored dry-erase markers. Protac Scribe would be a superior choice for such applications.

MHL Thermal Overlaminating Film Tips and Details |
MHL overlaminating films are specifically developed for multi-heat roller laminators (MHL) and hotshoe laminators. These high quality laminating / encapsulating films are co-extruded for a carefully balanced ratio of polyester film to adhesive. The result is higher clarity for more vibrant colors, reduced "orange peel", greater rigidity (which reduces wrinkles and waves) and better adhesive flow characteristics (wet out). MHL laminating films are available in a variety of thicknesses and finishes from standard gloss and lustre finishes to scratch-resistant films suitable for outdoor applications. All MHL films are suitable for both single sided and double sided laminating (encapsulation) of photographic, electrostatic, inkjet-bond, xerographic and lithographic output, as well as many more applications. These films also incorporate UV absorbers for excellent protection from damaging UV rays. Tips For Applying MHL UV Thermal Films: -
Consider webbing your laminator with a gloss film on top and a luster film on the bottom supply shaft. This will allow you to change the surface finish by feeding in your image either face up or face down. -
Use your idler bar to increase the area of contact between the heated rollers and the film. -
To allow for proper heat recovery, laminators with smaller diameter rollers require a slower processing speed and / or higher operating temperature for the best results. -
MHL laminating films bond while they are cooling (thermoplastic). This means that it is important that you create a steady uniform tension with the pull rollers (and a cooling system for thicker films) to ensure a smooth, flat encapsulated print without waves or wrinkles. |
