Fig 7.7 CORRECTLY TENSIONED FILM
CAUTION :
Do not over-compensate when turning the brake knob. Allow the film to find its natural drag/path.
This could take 3 feet through the machine, depending on the accuracy of your original alignment,
etc.

Turn the fans on, you are now ready to Laminate.
Testing the Lamination
Before feeding through work for the first time, it is advisable to test laminate a piece of waste
paper/card, preferably black which shows faults more clearly. Lightly cut a cross in the film and try
and peel the film. If it does not peel cleanly it is a good lamination.
By cutting the laminated plastic that is now hanging from the back of the machine, you can judge if
you have too much curl, caused by excessive or imbalanced brake tension (as explained in Section
7.13).
