COLD LAMINATION
• Adjust the pressure control on both sides according to the thickness and the finish of the film. Turning
the pressure control clockwise will increase the pressure. Turning the control anti-clockwise will decrease
the pressure. To adjust to the optimum pressure, increase the pressure a little more whilst the two rubber
rollers are parallel and have gripped the document lightly.
NOTE. Too high pressure may produce air bubbles.
• Select AUTO or FOOT on the control panel.
• Turn the speed adjusting control to the desired speed.
• Place the document onto the feed table. Check the roller gap to suit your document. Select FORWARD to
start the rollers moving, your document should begin to feed through the system.
Reminder: The width of your document should be larger than the width of the cold film. If the width of
your document is smaller than the width of the film, place a protective paper underneath your document.
Otherwise the glue could cause damage to the rollers:
• Stop the system once the document has been laminated and has been fully fed through. Otherwise an
imprint may appear on your document.
• Caution, do not attempt to laminate abrasive or metal objects such as staples, paper-clips as this will
cause damage to the laminating rollers.
Cleaning and maintenance of your system
The most expensive part of a laminator is usually the rollers. If these become damaged
they are costly to repair. Always ensure you look after the rollers and clean them
regularly to avoid a build up of glue (see advice below). Never hold a sharp object such
as a knife close to the rollers in case of catching the rubber as this could cause
permanent damage that will effect the result of your work.
When your laminator is cooling down, always separate the rollers using the roller
pressure control, this will ensure that your rollers do not touch when still hot as this
could leave a ‘flat spot’.
Cleaning the rollers
Always use a clean cloth and a mild anti-static foam cleaner such as Amberclens by
Ambersil or similar. Do not use a heavy duty solvent or anything abrasive.
If the film becomes jammed in the system in any way and there is a large build up of
adhesive, do not try and remove this yourself. Contact your supplier for advice.
