Increasing the pressure on my takeup only limits the slip at the motor to the spindle, it doesn't effect the spindle's grip on the tube. I want to say Arlon's tubes work out better, since they are twice the thickness of 3m tubes, and a nice run of duct tape on the tube, in a spiral, connecting to the spindle. It'll give more hold power if it wraps around at least once one both cardboard and spindle, compared to a ring of tape at the ends.When you took the liner off the reel was it still taped to the tube? If so, it's not slipping on the core. As others have implied, the core is slipping on the hubs of your laminator. If you have the ability to increase the pressure of the hubs on the end of the cardboard tube, that may help. Otherwise, the tape the others are mentioning is not connecting the liner to the cardboard tube, but instead being used to increase the friction of the hubs on the inside of the cardboard tube.
Geneva, what laminator are you working with?
