3.2 Setup Lamination (Optional)

Tools Required: Utility Knife
Note: Before you attempt to attach the laminate film to the paper it is very helpful to add a paper
starter strip to the end of laminate roll. This strip adds strength to the film and allows you to hold
on to it without it folding over on itself. Simply cut a 2" by 8" strip of paper or label material. Peel
back some of the film. Attach the paper starter strip. Now cut through the paper and the film so
that the edge of the film and the paper are the same.
1. Load the laminate roll. Orient the roll so that the adhesive is facing to the left when the
laminate is pulled from the roll.
2. Center the roll on the chuck. You may need to make some adjustments depending on
the width of the web. Make sure that no adhesive from the laminate film is exposed on
the under side of the web. This will build up on the nip point rollers and cause the web to
slip. Lamination film should always be narrower than the width of the web.
3. Grasp the paper starter strip.
4. Pull the laminate film under the laminate
guide roller.
5. Attach the laminate between the laminate
guide roller and the left side nip point.
Center the laminate on the web.
Note: Once you have placed the laminate
on the web, do not pull it up again even if it
is not straight. As long as the laminate roll
is centered above the web, the laminate
position will self correct. You may see
some wrinkling of the laminate until it is
corrected. If the laminate is not centered
on the web after it has self corrected,
move the roll of laminate forward or back
to center.
6. Remove the paper starter strip using a
utility knife.
7. Enable lamination on the touch screen. Setup Tab – Setup Components – Touch the
lamination mandrel.
8. Run the system forward until the splice mark is past the cutter or until smooth lamination
reaches the cutter.
Note: If you add or remove laminate you will need to increase or decrease cut pressure by
approximately 15 units from the pressure setting set for the previous job. See section 3.3D.
