Laminating; Single Sheets Using A Sled - Gfp 230 C Operating Manual

17. Laminating

ote: It is hard to remove film adhesive once it gets onto the rubber
rollers. When laminating, always use materials same width as the film
roll. If your sheets are narrower than the film roll, use a laminating sled
or Kraft paper roll on the bottom to keep the film adhesive from sticking
to the bottom machine rubber roller. Always use media roll the same
width or wider than the film supply roll.
To clean the rollers, use rubber eraser or Isopropyl Alcohol and a shop
towel.
