Timing is very important for the splitting process. The splitter/separator roller must come down after the sheet has finished
perforating and come up before the next sheet comes. For speeds of 0.5-2mmpm the display separator/cutting adjustment should
be set to 0. See below for guide.
•
0.5-2mmpm = 0
•
2-4.5mmpm = -20
•
5mmpm and above = -40
Speed & Temperature Control
Most BOPP/OPP films operate between 95
o
C and 125
o
C. Ensure the
Matrix is at the set temperature before you start to laminate. If your print
is silvering/cloudy the film has not properly bonded to the media you are:
•
either running the system to fast
•
not hot enough
•
the pneumatic pressure is not set correctly.
If your print appears blistered or the film has shrunk significantly as it passes over the laminating roller your running the system
too hot or not fast enough.
We recommend 105
o
C at speeds of 2.5mmpm, pressure for the laminating roller set to full and pull
roller set between 0.2 – 0.4.
If the paper creases as it exits the laminating roller then reduce the pressure on the laminating roller until the crease disappears.
Depending on the film you are using your prints might require a curing time after printing/laminating, ensure the sheets have no
heat from the printing/laminating before you start the next process.
