Abstract
A method and apparatus for laminating media sheets to remove trailing edge coating debris as the carrier is removed from the laminated sheet involves imparting a transverse force to the laminated sheet to cause the sheet to abruptly straighten as the trailing edge of the sheet passes by a corner of a carrier separation bar at which the carrier is removed. The transverse force may be imparted by guides such as rollers defining a serpentine path through which the laminated sheet must travel.
