Thermal Laminating... 

 

 
1. Be sure all laminator parts (i.e. safety shield, feed table, etc.) are in their proper positions 
and the laminating film is loaded correctly. 
 
2. Set the temperatures according to the film manufacturer’s recommendations for the film 
you have chosen.    A low-melt film is recommended for inkjet prints. Keep in mind that the 
temperature  at  which  you  will  laminate  will  vary  with  different  medias  and  laminating 
speeds.  See  the  chart  below  for  approximate  temperature  ranges.  The  laminator  will  take 
approximately  25-30  minutes  to  reach  operating  temperature.    The  temperatures  will  be 
indicated on the LED display.

3. Your new ValueLam 4500HC-2 has dual digital heat controllers.  Users can easily adjust 
the  set  temperature  to  achieve  the  best  quality  lamination  independently  top  and  bottom.  
The controller has been calibrated to accurately display roller temperature in the laminating 
range. 
 
The  heater  switches  each  on  the  left  side  frame  activates  in  the  controllers.  When  the 
switch  is  turned  on  the  controller  will  flash  a  two  letter  code  and  then  display  the  current 
roller  temperature.    When  cold,  the  temperature  displayed  on  the  controllers  may  be 
different  than  the  actual  ambient  temperature  to  account  for  correction  in  the  higher 
temperature  range. When  the  heater  switch  is  turned  on  the  controller  will  send  power  to 
the heaters, provided the set temperature is higher than ambient temperature. 
 
When power is being sent  to the heaters the controller will illuminate a small red indicator 
light  in  the  lower  right  hand  corner  of  the  display.  The  light  goes  out  when  the  set 
temperature is reached. Power to the heaters cycles on and off when the roller temperature 
falls below set temperature during lamination. 
 
4.  To  determine  the  set  temperature,  with  the  heater  switch  activated  and  the  current 
temperature displayed, press and hold down either the up or down arrow for 3-4 seconds. 
The  display  will  change  and  flash  the  set  temperature  and  “SU”  alternately.  After  10 
seconds the display will return to the current roller temperature. 
 
To change the set temperature, depress and hold either arrow down for 3-4 seconds until 
the  set  temperature  and  “SU”  flash.  Depress  and  hold  the  appropriate  arrow  to  raise  or 
lower  the  setting.  The  digits  will  change  slowly  initially  but  will  increase  speed  when  held 
down longer for large changes. When the desired setting has been reached, depress both 
arrows simultaneously to save the Set Temperature, or allow 10 seconds to auto-save the 
last set temperature. 
 
Each time the machine is turned on it will heat up to the last set temperature.  
 
5. Turn the MOTOR switch ON and perform a test lamination to ensure proper settings for 
successful  lamination.    Watch  film  as  it  exits  the  rollers  so  it  doesn’t  wrap  around  the 
rollers.    It  might  be  helpful  to  hold  the  film  at  first  when  starting  a  lamination  run.    If  any 
adjustments  are  necessary  make  them  now  and  run  another  test.    Repeat  this  step  until 
you obtain desired results.
