    Installation of Laminating Films Open Mandrel locking sleeve. Pull out the Swing out arm and slide the laminate in place.
  • Page 12 Installation of Laminating Films Locate the swing out arm back into its home position & centralize the laminate on the mandrel using the measurement guide. Remove the take up mandrel [waste mandrel] by opening both locking sleeves and slide on a 3 inch core, then lock the mandrel back into place.
  • Page 13 Installation of Laminating Films Film Loading Remove Safety Guard & Media support plate. Higher the roller and pull the laminate through the machine. Put tension on the laminate.
  • Page 14 Pull the laminate from the back of the machine in the centre of the laminate with one hand while pushing the lever to lower the roller with the other hand. Please ensure you do not put too much pressure on the roller. For general lamination and board mounting set the pressure control to zero.
  • Page 15 Installation of Laminating Films Pull the backing paper up towards the take up mandrel from the centre and secure it to the core using packing tape in 3 places, the centre, left and right. Pull the remaining backing paper of the laminate down to the feed table and roll your vinyl and place in the hooks provided.
  • Page 16 The Laminate should be tensioned enough to prevent creases on the media, if the laminate is following the backing paper either reduce the tension on the backing paper or increase the tension on the laminate. Loading Roll to Roll Open bottom mandrel locking sleeve and slide the vinyl in the centre of the mandrel.
  • Page 17 Please Note: When the Easymount is not in use lift the rollers to prevent flat spots, which could cause a line in future work on every revolution of the roller.

    Plug in the take up unit. Select full speed, forward & combine. Fit the take up mandrel (note the bracket is sprung loaded on the motorised unit). Then using double sided tape attach media/laminate to the core, the Easymount laminator is now ready to run prints reel to reel.
  • Page 19: Laminating Adjustments

    Laminating Adjustments Temperature Most pressure sensitive films benefit from around 40°C / 104°F of heat being applied to help eliminate ‘silvering’. If you don’t get the desired result with 40°C / 104°F continue adding 5°C / 41°F of heat until you get the finish required.
  • Page 20: General Maintenance

    General Maintenance The most expensive part of a laminator is usually the rollers. If these become damaged they are costly to repair. Always ensure you look after the rollers and clean them regularly to avoid a build-up of glue (see advice below). Never hold a sharp object such as a knife close to the rollers in case of catching the rubber as this could cause permanent damage that will effect the result of your work.

The media will then correct itself and run through smoothly. Film running loose and climbing up onto the take up core.
