lamination set-up help needed please

[David Hammond]

Could you just not flip the roll over?

[Dan Osterbery]

Thanks David,
it is a weird one, if we flip it over, the laminate and the paper are on the wrong side, so we would have to change the way it runs through the laminator. Struggling to get my head round it, maybe after the weekend my brain might start working again.

cheers

Don’t know what make laminator you’re running.

I’d have thought lifting the roll off, then rotate if 180degree’s, would fix it, so top becomes bottom?

I’m kind of struggling to explain it! 😀

[Dan Osterbery]

its a typhoon 1600 plus, unfortunately the company we bought it from have gone under, so cant ask them. I am sure there is a way of doing it, but if all else fails, we are going to take it off the roll, flip it over and re roll it, and run it as normal. Sorry if I am not being clear!! thanks again for your help!

all the best

Lift the roll off the machine… then spin the roll in front of you, ie: right hander over the left.

Like the band master does if you’ve ever seen a marching band! lol

Don’t know your machine… but it would work on our EasyMount.

Stand by for a glamourous model demonstrating my theory. 😕

[Dan Osterbery]

If i do that then the laminate is on the top side and the paper is on the underneath, its like its been rolled the wrong way and upside down, words fail me i cant really explain it! But if we do that then the paper will go through the laminator and the laminate would collect on the take up roll?? does that make sense?

cheers

I’m either going to look an idiot and it wont work… or it’s really this simple!

Hi David,
I get what your saying but the paper then changes side and we need to re run it though the pulley system so the laminate goes onto the vinyl, not the backing paper, sorry i cant describe the problem with any more transparency!

All the best

(spin) Don’t have a scooby doo then

[Dan Osterbery]

it is confusing.

but if you were loading the printer with reversed wound material you only do as David says flip it over.
we never lace ours so forgot how to do it anyway.

we use to have a similar machine, this is the two ways we set it up

thanks Robert, the second image i think, is how we normally have it set up, (looking at my photo & assuming the green is the backing paper and the blue is the laminate?) will try the other method and see what happens! thank you

We use both types. It really is as simple as just turn it over !

[Dan Osterbery]

ok if we turn the roll over then the laminate is facing up and the backing paper is facing down, and it wont run through the machine! I have attached two photos so you can see what i mean!

I may be being dumb also and I haven’t got one of these machines but everybodies suggestions seem spot on to me.

If the roll is rolled the other way then flipping the roll over seems exactly what you want.
You say if you flip it, the backing paper is facing down !! Well just flip it back and the paper should be facing up. It really does seem that simple from how its described and everybodies diagrams & photos, Even your own!
