Troubleshooting

ANTI-CURL

If your sheet curls up once 
it has left the laminator, 
you need to apply more 
anti-curl. 

If your sheet curls down 
once it has left the laminator 
you need to apply less 
anti-curl. 

If you are unable to adjust the anti-curl lever, try releasing the pressure on the pull rollers.
Always ensure the manual setting on the lever matches the display               on the screen. 

SHEET SEPARATION

Ensure the perforation 
wheel is set over the 
laminating film as shown 
and that there is sufficient 
pressure applied. 

Ensure the manual setting 
on the anti-curl lever 
matches the setting on 
the display screen.

Additional note: Please ensure the top and bottom films are aligned left to 

right and the bottom perforation wheel is activated. 

If the above settings are 
correct, please adjust the 
angled wheels until a 
successful separation is 
achieved. 

If your sheets do not separate 100% of the time, here are the solutions:

SPEED & TEMPERATURE CONTROL

Most BOPP/OPP films operate 
between 95°C and 120°C. 
Check your Matrix is at the 
set temperature before you 
start to laminate.

If your print is silvering, has a 
cloudy finish or the film has not 
totally bonded to the paper, you 
are running the Matrix too cool 
or too fast. 

Please remember, when you begin to run the laminator faster, the film will have less time on the 

heated roller. Therefore you must increase the temperature setting.
We always recommend you laminate a test sheet first to check the bond and flatness. 

If your print appears blistered or 
the film has shrunk significantly as 
it passes over the laminating roller, 
you are running the Matrix too hot 
or too slow.
