  1. Laminate on decal sticking to plastic packaging

    Our stickers are put in a thin poly bag before going into the retail packaging. I just visited one of the sites where our product is sold and I noticed that in many of the packages the bag was sticking to the face of the stickers. When I pull the bag away from the stickers it comes off very...
  2. Head scratcher weeding issue?

    I produce small stickers. After a couple years I have ironed out most bugs, but weeding continues to be unpredictable and painfully frustrating. For a few months - no issues, then it all of the sudden starts weeding horrible. I use a 3m vinyl with Avery 1460 lam with a d60 summa plotter. I have...
  3. Thinnest, Most Conformable Over-Laminate?

    I have a very complex project that requires the highest amount of conformability during application. I have been using Avery 1460 and it is working well overall. I have been doing some research to see what else is available, but there are a ton of options to sift through. I was hoping someone...
  4. Would an S2 T series plotter solve my issues?

    I have a D75 I've been using for about 6 months. Generally it has done a good job, but my work is very specific, so I can't change my work to compensate for some issues/possible limitations I've had with the D75. I'm wondering if the S2 model along with tangential will resolve these. Issues...
  5. Avery 1360 micro bubbles

    I have a sticker product I create and insert in a die cut package with a window showing the stickers through it. I just encountered the most bizarre issue. When I have a bunch of them packaged and sitting on top of each other and I pull out the stickers on the bottom most packages they have tiny...
  6. Laminate pockmarks?

    I recently changed to Avery 1360 laminate and have been very pleased with it so far. All my tests have been done using the big squeegee and the results have been fantastic compared to my Arlon 3220 experience. I just did a huge print and ran it for the first time through my laminator (USTech...
  7. Weeding after laminating issue

    I have learned a lot over the last couple months with trial and error, but this one issue has me stumped. I am using a Summa 4sx to print then laminating with Arlon 3220 and finally contour/flexcutting with a Summa D75. When I was initially testing before laminating I never had an issue with...
  8. Simple newbie laminator question

    I am really new at this and have a question that may be obvious, but I would rather not guess. I just purchased the US Tech Pro 65S laminator and will be laminating various size posters. I have watched the videos on setting up the laminator, which is straight forward, but the video shows roll to...
  9. Summa clear vinyl lamination issue?

    I have been trying to find an answer to my issue for a week or so, so I am hoping putting this in the Summa forum will get me some feedback from other Summa clear vinyl users or Summa direct. I have a specific application that requires a clear backing, so I sprung for the Summa 3M clear vinyl...
  10. Laminating issues - not adhering to print vinyl

    I am using a Summa to print on their clear vinyl (3m 7725 I believe) and using Arlon 3220 as an overlaminate. I bought the Big Squeegee to get me off the ground and I feel like I am following the directions clearly. My first go I had some bubbles, which I honestly expected, but I have a bigger...
  11. Summa 4sx and lamination?

    I have a printing background, but found a new application we purchased a Summa 4sx to pursue. This is a different animal than I'm used to so I'm trying to not make too many mistakes... My application is small labels (4"x6") that are in a very high traffic situation, so durability is critical. I...
