One machine, several adhesives
Pluss introduced Xyron to the UK in 1996, and the idea has stayed refreshingly simple ever since. You feed your print, photo or artwork into the machine, turn the handle, and it comes out with an even coat of adhesive on the back, ready to mount. There is no electricity, no heat, no spray can and no drying time. What changes from job to job is the adhesive you load, so it pays to choose the right one.
Xyron adhesive comes in two broad families: repositionable and permanent. Permanent adhesive is available as high tack, low tack and acid-free.
Repositionable adhesive
Repositionable adhesive lets you lift and move an item after you have placed it, so you can get a layout exactly right before committing. It is the natural choice for presentation boards, mock-ups, display work and anything where alignment matters and you want a second chance.
On the Xyron 1250/55, repositionable adhesive comes in a top-loading drop-in cartridge, for example AT1256-100. If you also want a protective laminate on the front, LAT1256-100 applies laminate and repositionable adhesive in a single pass.
Permanent adhesive options
High tack
High tack is the option to pick when the item needs to stay put. Use it for mounting prints and graphics to board, signs, posters and point-of-sale pieces that will be handled or displayed for a long time.
Low tack
Low tack gives a gentler permanent bond. It suits lighter materials and jobs where a very aggressive adhesive would be more than the work needs.
Acid-free
Acid-free permanent adhesive is the one to consider for photographs, keepsakes, scrapbooking and other work you want to look after. As a general rule, acid-free materials are preferred wherever prints and papers are intended to be kept.
