I used Grimco, but I also didn't really know any other distributors at the time. I got it at the worst time possible, when covid hit and everything was being locked down. So I got training over the phone on my equipment so I can't really speak much for in-person training from them.

You know I never thought of that especially when I have that tail of lam left after cutting the web. I'm definitely going to try this one! And what is a coro sled? Never heard the term before, but I'm just guessing it's a rigid piece of coroplast you use for loading up new material.

So I think my best option would be to upgrade my laminator to a roll to roll and also upgrade my cutter to allow roll-to-roll or at least auto sheet cut-off. I'm still torn between cutters as I think a Graphtec FC9000 would be better suited for my needs as I do a lot of die cut stickers (full...

It's not silvering. It just from my inexperience in doing this. This lam wasn't threaded on the machine I had cut it to size. It stopped because I didn't have the waste pulling off correctly and it tripped the finger guard and at one point, i was trying to get the guard down and it sucked some...

I ended up trying this way and all went ok until I stopped my laminator cause I wasn't prepared for how much that adhesive pulled and ended up getting bubbles through it but definitely learned a bit and never using cast anything before and trying this hinging method, I was ok with screwing up...

It's 30" x 19". I'm not even sure how to do that. A lot of these techniques are totally new to me. If I'm having this much difficulty just trying to web cast laminate I'll never get my feet into cast material and vehicle graphics.

I've got no idea. It came with my Epson S40600 when I bought it. I did notice my take up roll wasn't even moving, so that may be a problem. The adhesive is so aggressive my old laminator can't take up the waste.

I've tried tucking the laminate in the nip to secure it and the tape thing and making a light slit across but it's not deep enough and the backer pulls up hard and just ends up tearing and making a mess. I must be really dumb cause this is very hard to deal with and I cannot get it to work for...

Thanks guys! Really appreciate the helpful tips. I knew it would have to be a slightly different way to load it. I'll see if I can give these a try.

Exactly! And I probably have to have a clean waste core cause it seemed like this poly liner just slid, even though I taped it to the waste already on the core.

Hahaha yeah I think I've got PTSD from this film. I'll try tomorrow to take a video. Basically because it's much thinner it gets all stuck to itself when I'm trying to separate the liner from the film itself and then it makes loading it straight a bit hard.

Yes it is 3M 8518. It's just a sample roll that came with the machine. The pic isn't that laminate, I took the 3M off cause I was getting heated. So it comes off the roll on the bottom, then under the idler bar from there I usually separate the liner from the laminate and tape the liner to the...

Total newbie to everything cast. I wanted to laminate a sample print, but I cannot get the film loaded for the life of me. It's got a poly liner which and when I try to thread like I do with calendared material it just bunches up gets wrinkled and all jacked up. There must be a trick that I...

There are some jobs I don't All depends on the end use, but I'd say 90% of jobs get laminated.

So it looks like they just weren't showing on screen. I cut one section on the sheet and it worked fine. Just an oddity I haven't seen.

I haven''t tried it yet. This is the first time this has happened when they don't show up in here. I've zoomed in on the cut server but they still don't show.

I was getting setup to cut some sheets this afternoon and noticed it's dropping some of my cutlines in one row but another row below it is fine. It's all the same file repeated so I'm not sure why this is happening.

I've never done any graphics for vehicles. This one is just a large oval. I'm not installing it but it's going to be fairly large, around 30". I want to apply some transfer tape to it but I don't want to order a huge roll. Is it ok to use a more narrow tape and just go over the graphic a couple...

Yes I should've clarified its the SummaCut D Series. Good to know that the others offer this though! Wish I would've know that before I bought this machine last year.

Is this sheet cut off function available on the D class as well? I've been trying to find out if it's possible to do and how to set it up.
