  • Laminator Help Easymount 880

    Probably not the best idea but I have brought home a laminator to ‘learn’ to use over the bank holiday weekend.
    We have purchased the easymount 880 for a specific job, I know you get what you pay for but we have never needed to use a laminator up until now and it was a second user deal with over 6months manufacturers warranty left on it.
    The downside is there are no instructions, I know in principle how they work but I am a bit confused as to how to set it up. I have taken a few photos but can’t seem to upload these.

    If you are using one of these could you advise, I know when the laminate goes, does the vinyl roll sit at the back, where does the laminate wrap around as there are two rollers behind the rubber roller, I know this sounds vague without the photographs.

    I know its probably really straight forward but all help greatly appreciated if you have time on this beautiful bank holiday.

    Jason,

    I have an easy mount laminator best advice i can give is do not overtighten the rollers, turn the handle slowly and when the rollers contact it will go freely that is as much tension as you need any more and it will not laminate very well at all.

    Bets bit of kit i have bought for ages would recomend to anyone.

    Good luck with it.

    Russell.

    Thanks Russell, are you able to talk me through the setup process e.g how do I actually fit the laminate and which rollers does it go around?

    Thanks
    Jason
