can anyone help with a laminator problem?
I am currently using a Kala cold laminator and it is a total disaster as i cannot get it now to run anything longer than about 4ft until it starts folding and creasing up.
So time to get rid and put in a single top heat, can anyone tell me what is good around at the moment out at sensible money, i have looked online at the easymount (any stories on this)
Cheers

Hi Andrew,
I have one of these but called a Guardsman from B+P. Mine works fine. It sounds like you don’t have enough tension on the supply roller that holds your media. I have that same problem till I ready my manual in the troubleshooting page. Tighten the thumbs screws a little and now I can laminate for meters and meters.
Hope this helps a little

On your supply roll does your vinyl come off the roll on the bottom or the top then down to the roller?
There is 2 different ways to load

The media comes off the bottom of the supply roll, and then it goes over the the roller and double backs on its self. The liner is taken off the rolled around the top take up roller. The drive belt should be in a figure eight shape so the take up roll rotates in the correct direction.

Thats the way mine is, i will have to play some more with the tensions, i didnt think the tension on the take up was important?.

The tension is on the supply roll, not the take up roll. That’s what the thumb screws are for.

Dont have one of these machines but on our seal machine if the pressure is to high pushing down on the top roller it’ll crease up. Trying backing off the psi a little.

When it comes to pressure on the rollers I just turn them down till the rollers touch and then give half a turn more for the pressure, works just right.
