• For larger graphics, a second person at the
back of the laminator can help apply tension
to the graphic. This frees up the person in the
front of the laminator to clean up materials and
handle the release liner.
• If the release liner gets caught in the rollers,
stop the laminator and reverse the materials
out of the rollers until you can pull out the
release liner.
• Do not allow the materials to stop under
the pressure of the rollers for any extended
time. This can cause indentations on softer
substrates.
