Abstract

In one example, a heated pressure roller laminator can include lamination device, comprising: a heated pressure roller comprising a cylinder pressure roller and a heated belt roller to: receive a plurality of film materials at an input of the heated pressure roller and apply pressure and heat to the plurality of film materials to generate a laminate material.

First claim

What is claimed:

1 . A lamination device, comprising:
a heated pressure roller comprising a cylinder pressure roller and a heated belt roller to:
receive a plurality of film materials at an input of the heated pressure roller; and
apply pressure and heat to the plurality of film materials to generate a laminate material.

2 . The lamination device of claim 1 , wherein the heated pressure roller receives a media between the plurality of film materials.

3 . The lamination device of claim 2 , wherein the laminate material includes the media sealed between the plurality of film materials.

4 . The lamination device of claim 1 , wherein the lamination device is within a printing device.

5 . The lamination device of claim 1 , wherein pressure roller applies pressure on a pressure platen of the heated belt roller.

6 . A system, comprising:
a heated pressure roller positioned within a printing device, wherein the heated pressure roller includes a heated belt roller; a first input of the heated pressure roller to receive partially dried inkjet media from a print zone of the printing device; and a second input of the heated pressure roller to receive a plurality of lamination film materials and substrate material, wherein the heated pressure roller creates a bond between the plurality of lamination film materials.

7 . The system of claim 6 , wherein the heated pressure roller comprises a first roller coupled to a spring to apply pressure on a second roller that includes a heat source.

8 . The system of claim 6 , wherein the first input of the heated pressure roller is coupled to a first media pathway coupled to a first media tray.

9 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the second input of the heated pressure roller is coupled to a second media pathway coupled to a second media tray.

10 . The system of claim 6 , wherein the heated pressure roller utilizes a first setting when the heated pressure roller is to receive the partially dried inkjet media.

11 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the heated pressure roller utilizes a second setting when the heated pressure roller is to receive the plurality of lamination film materials and substrate material.

12 . A printing device, comprising:
a heated pressure roller that includes:
a heated belt roller to apply heat;
a cylinder pressure roller to apply pressure to the heated belt roller;
a first input coupled to a print media pathway; and
a second input coupled to a media input tray;
a user interface to:
alter a setting of the heated pressure roller to a first state to receive partially dried inkjet media from the print media pathway; and
alter the setting of the heated pressure roller to a second state to receive a plurality of lamination film materials and substrate material from the media input tray.

13 . The printing device of claim 12 , wherein first state provides a first quantity of heat and pressure to the partially dried inkjet media to increase drying of printing fluid applied to the partially dried inkjet media.

14 . The printing device of claim 13 , wherein the second state provides a second quantity of heat and pressure to the plurality of lamination film materials and substrate to create a bond between the plurality of lamination film materials.

15 . The printing device of claim 14 , wherein the second quantity of heat and pressure is greater than the first quantity of heat and pressure.
