15. Adjusting Brake Tension
1. Adjust the brake tension so the film does not wind up on the rewind and the release liner does
not get pulled into the rollers.
2. The release liner should have a small amount of sag as it releases from the overlaminate but not
so much that it will be pulled into the nip area of the rollers.

16. Laminating Cold PSA film
Note: It is hard to remove film adhesive once it gets onto the rubber rollers.
When laminating, always use film rolls the same width as the materials. If your
sheets are narrower than the film roll, use a laminating sled to keep the film
adhesive from sticking to the bottom rubber roller of the machine. Always use a
media roll the same width or wider than the film supply roll.
To clean the rollers, use rubber eraser or Isopropyl Alcohol and a lint free cloth.
