  1. GFP 355TH Flip Up Feed Table locked

    Winner winner you get the chicken dinner. I took off the side panel, saw the bolt holding the left side of the table in place and loosened it. I guess over time, lifting the table over 8 years of time, it tightened itself up. Loosened it and now it moves. Thanks!!
  2. GFP 355TH Flip Up Feed Table locked

    Thanks. Mine didn't come with the "up position" locks, I think I got jipped on those. LOL. I can pull off my side cover and check as well...didn't think about doing that, great idea.
  3. GFP 355TH Flip Up Feed Table locked

  4. GFP 355TH Flip Up Feed Table locked

    This may seem like a dumb question, but I've tried everything I can think of and this is a stumper. I have a GFP 355 Top Heat laminator, and the flip-up feed table is locked in the down position. I can't swing it up any more, it seems to be locked on the left side so I can't swing it up...

  12. First time buyer for Large Format Printer

    I have an HP latex and love it. Been using it for over 5 years now. Easy to use, very little maintenance, no smell, no outgassing before laminating, brilliant colors. Never touched a UV or solvent printer, so I have nothing to compare it to, sorry. As folks have told you already, as much $$...
