and Troubleshooting.

Use only the minimum amount of roll pressure needed
to accomplish the task. While higher pressure can make
the adhesive bond faster, excess pressure can damage
the rolls. Wrinkles and bubbles have causes that gener-
ally cannot be cured by applying more pressure.
CAUTION
A typical roll pressure for soft substrates such as Foam-
core is between 20 to 30 pounds per square inch (psi)
or 140 to 205 kPa.
The range of typical values for hard substrates is 25 to
50 psi or 170 to 345 kPa.

Always use the same shim settings on the left and
right side of the laminator.
Excess pressure can damage the laminating rolls.
Minimum laminator roll pressure is consistent
with good results.
The blades on the slitters are razor sharp.
If caution is not used while loading materials,
you can cut yourself severely.
