Included in this video are the benefits of using a laminator over manual signage tool and how to best use a cold laminator in hear transfer production to reduce wastage and improve efficiency.
When you say backing paper is this something special? Or will the cheapest roll of paper do? Something to keep the laminate from sticking to the rollers
Very helpful. Thanks you. Can you do a video on how to adjust the knobs on the laminator to ensure that you have even pressure across the rollers? I have had some "twist" due to uneveness and I was wondering whether there is a tip you can provide.
Does anyone know what sort of laminating roll I need to do both sides of poster size projects. I know you can get sleeves for A4 size but need a large roll to do the same sort of thing. Any info would be really appreciated.
It's called manual cold laminator, they don't have a brand, just generic chinese stuff. (some companies can apply a sticker to it with a name but you know, that's not a 'brand')
Hate to tell you - that's NOT application tape, it's clear overlam. Application tape is usually paper 3M SCPM-3 for example. Scary the way you handle this stuff. Try laying your overlam down on your sheet and tape one end down. Fold back and peel then run it through the roller. Easy and it works every time.
I’m not sure you’re right. Why would he be applying clear overlam over a sheet of weeded prints? But then I’ve never seen application tape with a liner. 🤷♂️
Why, why, why complicate it so much with a very outdated laminator? Get yourself a Seal or any other powered cold laminator with a top roll holder and put a full roll of transfer tape (or a laminate film), then apply as much tape for as many prints you would like without all these dinosaur techniques!
