Dust attraction on laminate

[Erin Smith]

Any tips/tricks to limit dust from getting between sign and laminate as we lay it down?" Primary issue is on larger signs. We use table with lamination roll for application.

Are you using laminates with polyester liners? Do you think it is a static thing or is it just dusty in your shop?

The blue rollers with a sticky pad are great for getting the dust and dirt up and off surfaces as opposed to just pushing them around. I used to sell a ton of them back in the day. I could probably find one with a pad for $200 somewhere if you have an interest.

We use one of those blue rollers MarkSnelling mentioned. Works great.

CWT sells the roller for $200 (good guess by me) and a pad of 50 'sticky sheets' for $50. The roller is 10" wide and you just roll it over your print and any surface you want to be dust free....the roller picks up the dust and dirt and then you roll the roller over the sticky pad and it grabs the muck off the roller. Not rocket science. It's better than when people have compressed air where they are just shooting the dirt and dust up into the air where it can settle anywhere.
