I recently purchased a 65" Master Laminator VT-9600, cold press laminator. I am having a few issues with it and tech support has so far not been of much help so I am hoping someone here has experience with one.
We attempted to apply vinyl onto a small sheet of aluminum with the laminator and noticed that when raising the rubber roller to accommodate that each end of the roller rose at alternating moments. The right would raise first to a certain height, stop, and then the left would raise to that height and above, then stop, and the right side would begin raising again. This machine advertises to accommodate material up to 1.5" thick yet once raised, it is never even. We contacted tech support who told us that the machine must be out of balance and gave us instructions on how to fix it. After several hours attempting to balance there is no change in how the roller raises. In addition if we laminate a sheet of vinyl more than about 6 feet long, wrinkles begin to form in the laminate, starting at one corner, even if the material was loaded taught. Are these problems stemming from is still being imbalanced? Any advice is welcome.
Attached are photos of the machine along with laminated results and the instructions sent over by the tech.
Thank you.
