CLEANING
When laminating, a small amount of adhesive will squeeze out between the laminating films and onto the
top and bottom rollers. This residue accumulates through normal use and can be easily cleaned off the rollers.
Use only isopropylen alcohol to clean the rollers and
not other cleaners or solvents.
To clean the rollers:
- Use an eraser to remove excess glue. After the rollers have cooled to approximately 80 degrees,
use a cotton cloth and isopropyl petroleum to wipe the roller clean.
- The rollers should be cleaned every day or the heat-activated adhesive will soak into them.
If these recommendations are not followed, the rollers may develope
flat spots and these will affect the output.
To maintain the GraphicMaster Series
- When the feed table away from the heated rollers.
When the machine is not used, the rollers must either be separated by adjusting the handle or turning
if they are together. To maintain even heat distribution, the rollers should be turning together.
TROUBLE-SHOOTING
Problem
The machine is not heating
up or has erratic temperature
The film is coming out
rippled or wavy
The machine will not run
The filmis cloudy or mottled
Material is rippling or
jumping as it is being fed
The roller are not raising
or descending
Solution
The rollers should be together with no handle adjustments and turning
at a moderate speed when firsst heating up.
Make sure the machine is webbed dorrectly. See the web digrams.
There may be improper film tension.
GMP laminating films will work with a minimal amount of brake tension.
Use the cooling fans for long runs.
If you are using photo materials, Inkjet prints, run the laminator
at a higher speed.
Make sure the photo safety eyes are not blocked.
Make sure the speed selector is turned up.
Reat the emergency stop buttons.
Increase the roller temperature or cecreas the machine’s runing speed.
If the mottling is seen primaily with heavier laminating films, higher
roller pressure (heated rollers) may be necessary due to the
thicker adhesive layer.
Table should be pulled away from the geated rollers.
Plotter prints need to be tensioned as they are fed into the laminator.
Cut sheets must be held back.
Maintenance of safety personnel only should attempt each of the
following procedures
When the laminator is not in use, alwasy release the gap between the rollers
to prevent flat spots on rollers from developing.

All above is for not using Cooliong Fans
- Without cooling fans, the units can be operated for 20 minutes continuously.
But after 20 minutes the actual temperature may rise above the set temperature
(The laminated web may be some what crooked without cooling fans after long operation.)
- Continuous operation is possible with GraphicMaster laminators with Cooling Fan option.
Upon cold lamination with PRONEX UV Cold Film, silvering (appearance of white dots) may be
observed. That will disappear in about 4 hours time when left on its own. Immediate removal is
possible by performing cold lamination around 40
