I own one and would buy one again. Experience is everything. When the tech set me up he gave a wee bit of training. I had no prior experience. I remember this quote as if yesterday: "There are as many methods to laminate as there are users." I shoulda documented my failures with appropriate music. I've never seen the method described in this video. I run mostly 6100 Arlon and 3220 lam. Any use of the heater always gets me in trouble. I don't use it. I'm a small shop. Waste is an anathema. My breakthrough moment minimizing waste came from cutting lam with a 2-3" taper to the center. Instead of the bow tie I use two pieces of tape offset sticky side to sticky side. When you pull you can feel center and line up the tube accordingly. I'm doing a roll to roll today but I come up with the print over the top of the table and under the hold down. It's worked for three years. Occasionally, I'll get diagonal wrinkles but easily fix them by bumping the lam roll or the take up roll.

Would you be able to get in contact with me I have one and don’t know how to use it! Your help would be greatly appreciated :)

Thanks for the tips! The tapering makes sense since that's how I always start my prints onto my printer's take-up reel. The sticky-to-sticky tape method was useful, too. Much appreciated!

So how do you fix that wrinkling of the graphic that was feeding into the nips that occurs at the 8:30 mark of the video? I tried putting my forearm in front of it too ... it didn't work.

Hi Matt, to resolve the wrinkling of the graphic, we put the media alignment disks on the bottom supply shaft and added some brake tension. If you would like further assistance, we would be happy to help. Please email us at service@gfpartnersllc.com or call us at (800) 986-2005 Monday - Friday, 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM CST.

Yeah it kind of looks like it was starting to wrinkle and he just hid it from the camera with his arm. Hmmm

Yeah. my supplier was trying to sell me one today, but this video put me off. Going to go with something else.

@@marcomsignsprinting1567 That was 100% operator error, not the machine, (I know because that's me in the video). If you are still looking for a laminator, I highly recommend the Gfp models. You can't beat the quality for the price.

Like two years too late this but dude really missed a CRITICAL factor when setting up roll to roll and that is making sure everything is TIGHT before you run. He mentioned he added slack but then never removed it once it was all set. This will wrinkle. You need tight brake pressure all around, on your rewind, on your laminate, supply end and finish end. If anyone gets lose it's over. Roll to Roll is the most stressful setup in my opinion but then the easiest to run. Nothing worse though than getting into your 50"x50' image and seeing a wrinkle. start to form. Good to always have like 8 feet of setup ahead of the image.

Trying to figure out how this is better than Chinese master tech laminator I got for like $2,800 delivered. Having issues with it now after around 7 years and thinking I need something better - but this thing looks more complicated and doesn’t seem to even work well

Yeah, I was about to buy this same one that's in the video and the mistake at the 8:30 mark that was tried to be hidden by putting the forearm in front of it put me off too. I am looking for an alternative brand. You guys should either remove this video and make a new one or it would cost you some sales for sure.

@iliyandinev 3 жыл бұрын

I read about people experiencing those exact same issues with those laminators and showing pictures of wrinkled film under the lamination. Can you please explain that and how to fix it? That's keeping me on hold of buying this model over other brands.

@robertelliott8797 3 жыл бұрын

@@iliyandinev The main reason that can happen is not making sure the film and the media are tight against the rollers when you first start. When treading the web, keep those two items nice and tight against the rollers. If you see any gap between the roller and the film/media when you start, you will get wrinkles after a few feet of running. The other thing that will cause it is if the nip is off from one side to the other. The Gfp machines are extremely easy to reset because we do not have any springs on the rollers that can wear out. There is a video on our website that walks you through the process, www.gfpartnersllc.com/servicevideos 300 Series Applications Nip Adjustment. All the Gfp machines use the same procedure regardless of the model. Hope this helps.

@@robertelliott8797 You guys need to find someone else to do your demos, then. This guy manages to find something to muck up in almost every video. I've only owned my machine for two days and already I feel more competent than this goofball. This is utterly baffling considering these are the official introductory tutorials for how to use your machines. What on Earth is going on over there at GFP?

you're not showing how the laminate backing is attached to the take up roll on top... the only part i have issues with.

Some not right. The face of your print is dragging across a bar before lamination. I don't think you're threading that thing correctly. Looks like you started to get some big wrinkles in the center at about 8 minutes into this video. Good save with the arm cover. I'm not sold on this laminator at all.
