LOADING FILM WITH A THREADING CARD

WARNING:

Keep your fingers and hands away from the nip point while the machine is running. They could

be trapped and crushed in the rollers. Clothing, jewelry, and long hair could be caught in the rollers and pull
you into them.

11.

Release the card and ensure that both films and card are being pulled into the laminator.

12.

The card will guide the film webs into the rollers. Press

STOP

 or release the F

oot Switch.

13.

Replace the print clamp (Artic Titan 1064 WF c) and feed table. Refer to

Removing and Installing the Print Clamp

 (Artic Titan

1064 WF c) and

Feed Table Removal and Installation

 in this section.

14.

Check the film alignment and adjust the tension if needed.

Film

The following procedure uses a film threading card that is
sometimes provided with new rolls of film. If one is not
provided, a scrap of cardboard or poster board with a
straight edge is suitable. Either can be reused. Prior to
loading film, remove the print clamp (Artic Titan 1064 WF c)
and feed table.

Note:

 These instructions are for loading laminating and

mounting films for decaling. The top supply shaft is used
for laminating films and the bottom supply shaft is used for
mounting film or kraft paper. If you are not applying
mounting film to a laminate, kraft paper should be used on
the bottom supply shaft to prevent adhesive from sticking
to the rollers. For more information about loading films for
other processes, refer to the appropriate section in this
chapter.

To web (load films) the machine:

1.

Remove the print clamp (Artic Titan 1064 WF c) and
feed tray. Refer to Removing and Installing the Print
Clamp (Artic Titan 1064 WF c) and

Feed Table

Removal and Installation

 in this section.

2.

Pull the top film down, thread it under the idler bar,
and pull the film back up to the take-up core.

3.

Lightly tape both corners of the film to the take-up
core.
Ensure that the film is pulled evenly and that no
bulges exist at either end of the idler bar.

4.

Using a very sharp utility knife, lightly score the
laminating film approximately 4 in (10 cm) above the
upper pressure roller.
Be careful to not cut through the release liner.

5.

Pull the laminating film away from the liner and
drape it over the front of the pressure rollers so that it
extends to a little past the bottom of the top pressure
roller.

6.

Pull the mounting film (or kraft paper) up to about
even with the top of the top pressure roller without
touching the sticky laminating film.

7.

While pulling evenly, carefully align the edges of the
mounting film with the laminating film, and press the
two together. It is important that the tension is even
from one end of the supply rolls to the other.

8.

Press the straight edge of the threading card into the
two films at the nip (the point between the two
pressure rollers) until the card and films are slightly
past the nip.

9.

Move the roller pressure handle to where it applies
pressure to the threading card.

10. Press

RUN

 on the control panel or while pressing the

foot switch, guide the threading card into the machine
until the rollers pull the card on its own.
