Application
5.3 Loading the film
Ensure the roll of laminate is loaded
properly on the unwind shaft.
Exposed adhesive should be facing
away from the heated roller.
CAUTION
W A R N I N G
Always use safe and proper lifting practices
when lifting heavy objects. You can become
seriously injured or crushed.
The film roll ( or the portion of a slit roll that will
be used ) should be mounted onto the film shaft. Position
the product being laminated to obtain the desired margin
at the edge of the sheets.
Before threading begins, ensure the
heat transfer roller is not too hot for
the film being used.
CAUTION
When the film roll is properly positioned on the
laminator, the film extends beyond the cut lines. Both
edges of the film should lie on the unprinted margins of the
sheet. Film will never extend beyond the edge of the
sheet because any film exposed to either laminating roller
will leave melted adhesive stuck on the roller.
The rollers must be kept free of adhesive at all
times during the laminating process!
GBC Film Group recommends that sheets be
printed with more than 1/4 inch ( 6 mm ) of unprinted
margin at the edges to avoid several possible problems.
Slight shifts of film position can happen during a
lamination run. These shifts can cause problems, if
adequate unprinted margins were not allowed for at the
edges of the sheet. If the film has been started very near
the edge of the sheet to cover the cut lines, it may shift
enough to cause adhesive to stick to the rollers. On the
right side, applying film too close to the edge of the sheet
can interfere with proper operation of a separator. Also,
if the right edge of the film is sticking to ink instead of
paper, operation of a snapping roller may not be
satisfactory.
To position the film roll, take the following steps:
a. Place a sheet at the location where you want it to feed
in for lamination.
