I posted earlier about the issues we're experiencing with our laminator.
If I'm laminating something and have 'hand tight' tension on the take-up reel tension knob, if I grab the roll while it's moving, should it stop with very little pressure, or should it be more difficult the harder the tension on the knob???????
With ours, we barely have to touch the moving tension bar in order for it to stop. This is not allowing the backing to be taken up fast enough, and the separation point where the laminate and backing come apart is being drawn into the rollers with the print.
The tech from Florida Graphic Supply came with a replacement tension set-up and took a look and thinks that it's the fact we're using 3M laminate.
Anybody with a laminator and has some insight with how the take-up roll is suppose to be reacting to if you grab it, wheather is wants to stop easily or varies depending on the tension, would help greatly.
