The following environmental conditions are ideal for the best operation of the laminator. Ambient Temperature The best temperature for the 44/62 Ultra Plus is between 16 C and 35 C (50 F and 95 F). Do not expose the laminator to direct sunlight as output quality may be affected. -
Page 9: Setting Up The Laminator In 4 Steps
3.5 Setting up the laminator in 4 steps. 1. Remove the cardboard box and the plastic bag as described on the outside of the box. 2. Pick the box behind the laminator which contains the stand parts. 3. Mount the LH-side part of the stand as shown in next figure. (The LH-part is recognizable by a spring utility on the bracket.) Use two serrated washers and two socket screws M6x16 (see fig.2) Do not tighten the screws completely. - Page 10 5. Finally, mount the middle part between the LH- and RH parts. Use two serrated washers and two socket screws M6x16. Do not tighten these screws completely Figure 4 6. Taking care to align the top of the LH stand so that it is parallel with the blue plastic cover and there is a small gap (1-2 mm) between the blue cover and the stand, tighten the 2 screws that hold the stand to the machine.

Page 14: Slow-Mode
4.2.1 Slow-mode The machine has a slow-mode, which can be activated by pressing the foot switch. To maintain slow-mode, keep the foot switch pressed. WARNING: ONCE THE MACHINE IS RUNNING IN SLOW-MODE, INTERRUPTING THE PHOTOELECTRIC EYES DOES NOT STOP THE MACHINE; AN AUDIBLE BEEP WILL BE HEARD, AND THE ROLLER SPEED WILL BE DECREASED. -
Page 15: Unwind Brakes
4.3 Unwind brakes Tighten the supply brake so that it applies sufficient tension to laminate. Turning the knurled collar in a clockwise direction increases the breaking tension applied on the laminate. Turning the collar counter-clockwise decreases the tension. The best setting for the brake tension is determinate by the materials you are using and is learned through experience. -

Figure 12 6.1.2 Loading film onto a machine equipped with the cam lock system. Remove the desired supply shaft (top or bottom) by moving the cam handle (1) down to the open position. Lift the autogrip shaft out of the laminator. Slide the shaft into a material roll. -
Page 19: Webbing The Films
6.2 Webbing the films After the laminator has heated up; Remove the infeed table. If applicable, the infeed table can be stored temporarily on the stand. Unroll the film on the top supply shaft, so that an adequate length is hanging over the top roller (see figures 13 &... - Page 20 Figure 17 Alternative way for webbing film on the bottom unwind. Use the provided leaderboard to push the film(s) through the nip (figure 18 or 19). Figure 18 Figure 19 Refer to the following sections for specific webbing diagrams based on the process you are performing.

Page 21: Feeding Images
6.3 Feeding images To aid feeding images, the laminator is provided with an “Image Guide”. This device can be positioned in front of the top roller and it prevents the images from interrupting the photoelectric eyes. When changing the roller nip, the Image Guide moves together with the top roller. -
Page 22: Laminating And Adhesive Coating (Decaling)
6.4 Laminating and adhesive coating (Decaling) This process involves sandwiching an image between either a hot or cold laminate on the face of the image and a pressure-sensitive adhesive on the rear. This process can be used to create self-adhesive images for mounting down onto various substrates. Once the machine reaches the operating temperature, the top roller may be raised and webbed as per the following diagrams. -
Page 23: Decaling Without Liner
6.5 Decaling without liner Preparation: Select the films that you will use on the top and bottom of the images, it is advisable to use slightly wider width films compared to the print width. This way the print can be trimmed with a border, so as to reduce waste, but be enough to leave a border. -
Page 24: Mounting
6.6 Mounting This process involves mounting down previously prepared decals onto a substrate. No films or adhesives are used in this process. To perform this process, it is necessary to remove the Image Guide, you can store the Image Guide in the machine stand (See fig. 9) 6.6.1 To mount decals onto a substrate Place the mounting board on a flat surface. -
Page 25: Encapsulating
6.7 Encapsulating This process involves completely sealing an image between two heat-activated films. Once the machine reaches the operating temperature, the laminator may be stopped, the top roller raised and webbed as per the following photographs and diagrams, refer to the Temperature/Speed chart on page 16 for settings and recommended film combinations. -
Page 26: Pre-Coating
6.8 Pre-Coating This process is used to coat substrates with a self-adhesive coating onto which images can be mounted. The same process is used to create a carrier board (sled). Preparation: Mount the roll of self-wound pressure sensitive adhesive onto the top unwind of the laminator with the exposed adhesive facing you. -

2. Also, refer to the instruction sheet for information on Compatible Media, Process Conditions and Technical Information. 3. A ProSEAL Pouch Board consists of a SEAL foam board mounting board with a piece of film on top. The film is sealed to the board along one of the short sides. Carefully examine the board to deter-mine which edge is sealed. -
