Ledco Laminating FAQs
Squealing while film is advancing
Make sure you feed the item so that the leading
edge is parallel to the laminating rollers. If the item is not laying
flat and smooth when it goes into the laminator, it cannot be expected
to come out flat and smooth. If an item has been rolled, folded
or wrinkled beforehand, first flatten and smooth out the leading
edge. Make sure the leading edge goes into the laminator flat and
parallel to the rollers. As soon as the rollers take the item, grasp
the back corners and pull back and down on the item so the folds
or wrinkles are pulled out and it is held flat against the feed
tray going in. Don't lift up on the back of the item. Keep it flat
against the feed tray.
If you see serious wrinkling on both sides of both film and paper, the laminating
rollers probably need to be closed and locked. Check your roller opening/closing
controls.
Wrinkling is hard to describe. What we mean by wrinkling is creases or folding
over of the film or paper. What some people have described to us as wrinkling
was what we would call waviness, or some other problem such as a repeating
impression on the surface of the finished lamination. You may need to call
your customer service representative for additional help.
