TESTING THE WEB

After webbing the machine, it is important that the films run straight and evenly.

To test the web:

1.

Set the roller pressure handle to an appropriate position.

2.

Press

RUN

 or the

foot switch

 and run approximately 6 in. (10 cm) of laminate.

3.

Press

STOP

 or release the

foot switch

.

4.

Visually inspect the top and bottom films where they enter the nip. The films should be tight against the rollers at
both ends. If they are not, use the tension adjustment knobs to tighten the loose supply film brake test.

5.

Ensure that the release liner take-up is keeping the liner tight against the idler bar. For the Artic Titan 1040 WF c,
use the upper film supply tension knob to properly tension the release liner. For the Artic Titan 1064 WF c use the
rewind tension knob to properly tension the release liner.

6.

Run test materials before laminating good materials.

CLEARING A FILM JAM (WRAP-UP)

Film jams (wrap-ups) may occur if the film is loaded backwards or if the area at which film exits the equipment is
blocked. The film, when jammed, wraps around the rollers. Jams also occur if something is too large to pass through
the rollers.

Determine the best course of action to clear the jam. It may be necessary to rotate the rollers in the reverse direction.
Set the speed to min. Press and hold

REVERSE

 on the control panel.

CAUTION:

 Be careful to not cut the pressure rollers when cutting the film. Failure to observe this notice can result in

damage to the rollers.

To clear a jam:

1.

Immediately press

STOP

 to stop the machine.

2.

Remove the print clamp (Artic Titan 1064 WF c) and feed tray.

3.

Do one of the following.

a. Pull one of the webs while running the laminator in reverse.

b. Cut the film near the rollers, set the pressure adjustment to Release, and pull the film out the back of the

machine.

c. Cut the film near the rollers, set the pressure adjustment to Release, grasp the loose ends of the web, and pull

straight out the front of the machine.

4. Replace the print clamp (Artic Titan 1064 WF c) and feed tray.

5.

Re-load the film if necessary. See the Loading Film section in this chapter.

6. LAMINATION GUIDE

This manual provides general guidelines and is only a general reference guide. Different settings may be suitable as the
lamination time and materials change. Test materials before running good materials through the machine.

Do not attempt to laminate abrasive or metal objects such as staples, paper clips and glitter, as they may damage
the rollers.

Do not force items into the nip area of the rollers. An item that is not easily drawn into the laminator by the rollers
is probably too thick to laminate.

Wrinkles may result if an attempt is made to reposition an item once it has been grasped by the rollers.

Do not stop the laminator before an item has completely exited the pressure rollers. Even a momentary stop may
cause a mark on the laminated item.

Good, consistent lamination is a result of combining proper tension and roller pressure.

Do not combine thick and thin items at the same time, as this will result in a poor edge seal around the thinner
material.
