CONTROL OF ROLLER PRESSURE
***Setting Downward Roll Pressure***
There are 4 color coded pressure settings that match the applications decal on the front of the operators
console. Match the colors on the applications decal to the nip selector wheel for desired application.
For setting the pressure, pull the lever out toward you and rotate to the desired position, then lock in
place.
The EP42 Offers the following Nip Settings
Lamination/Encapsulation position for use with films from 32 to 250microns
Mount/Laminate position for use with boards from 1/16" to 1/8“
Mount/Laminate position for use with boards from 3/16" to 1/4“
Mount/Laminate position for use with boards from 3/8" to 1/2“
The EP42 is equipped with two sets of rollers (Main & Pull) that are operated in unison by adjustment
of the Nip Lever. The pressure is factory preset for optimum results. Certain substrates (Plexiglas™ /
Sintra™) may require additional pressure… If silvering does not go away within 24 hours of lamination,
consult technical service for advice on increasing roll pressure.
Note: When not using machine it is highly recommended that you raise the nip rollers to an open
position of at least 3/16". This will prevent flat spots from occurring on the nip and pull rollers.
