The shiny side of clear film must contact the main
rollers with the dull sides ( adhesive side ) facing out. Use
caution when loading matte or delustered film since both
sides appear dull.
The top and bottom rolls of laminating film must
be of the same width and be present simultaneously. If
performing a single sided lamination process, a craft paper
carrier or a substrate of the same width must be used in
place of the bottom laminate.
