  1. Laminator disaster

    Got it from deal extreme, a chinese company, which has gotten better recently but its still a few weeks to a month. They have some sort of US direct service thats a little faster but not sure if they have this item or anything like it in their US "store"...
  2. Laminator disaster

    Latest update 2/13 All morning I have been trying to adjust the side to side roller pressure and thought I was making head way but not really. Here is my latest question. How much tension to put on the material not the the lam the printed vinyl? As a last resort, I just tried ramping up the...
  3. Laminator disaster

    Well for my test I raised up the rollers and fed the material through pulling it tight to make sure it was lined up according to the machine and then lowered the top roller. I've even done this when I have laminated instead of using a board or scrap liner.
  4. Laminator disaster

    Not sure what you mean be advance the feed roll. As for uneven pressure I did just adjust it using my cobbled together force gauge. Its one of these with strips of banner material. It was tight on the left side with it falling out on the right side. I got it to within 10 or so grams of force.
  5. Laminator disaster

    newest twist Ok I have finally gotten back to the laminator issue. Right after I posted this I had about a month of horrible computer issues. I'm also the network engineer here and we had a server that crashed avery 19 hours day or night. But anyway after having the laminate travel across the...
  6. What do I do?!

    More importantly, did you do it to show how badly the sign was made?
  7. Vinyl for well vinyl

    Does anyone know of any good solvent printable vinyls (mimaki jv33-130) for decals for the inside of doors. They want to stick a small 2" square decal on the interior door panel. I'm telling them not sure how long it will last since the vinyl itself is not a great surface but any type of armor...
  8. Laminator disaster

    Latest update. Tweaked the pressure a little more and not really having the same issue. Did find it helps giving it a little tension.
  9. Laminator disaster

    Well I did start to use pull strips and I did feel like the right side needed to be tighter. I'm working on getting a digital pull scale. The print starts fine for a maybe half the print and then it slowly starts to bunch.
  10. Laminator disaster

    Freeloading, thats the only way I have ever done it. Until I got the new mimaki everything was in sheets of not much more than 8 feet. Now that I have a takeup reel on the new printer that may change. Though then I guess I need a take up reel on the laminator. Also and this relates to a PP I...
  11. Laminator disaster

    Ok small update. I got it cracked open. First Vinylman its not the same model but easy enough to figure out. It has two adjustment screws. I turned each one a quarter turn since without a gauge (working on that) I wasn't sure how much adjustment I would need. Now not sure if this makes a...
  12. Laminator disaster

    Thanks for all the replies especially Vinylman. I haven't had a chance to tear it apart yet but I'm going to work on the pressure issue this afternoon. As for some other suggestions like nip pressure and the like, I'm semi new to all the graphics stuff. I was hired as the Network/PC Support...
  13. Laminator disaster

    I have a major laminator issue. If you check my history I came here 3 years ago asking for tips about my Royal Sovereign RCH-1401 H. Its been going ok but I still get alignment issues where after 10 feet I'm an inch or more to one side but this new issue is a show stopper. Since I only had a...
  14. Versaworks Crashing Constantly - Help!

    My issue is that when you exit the Settings Screen it will hang. This will happen every fourth or fifth time you go in and come it. There is no reason except of course it always happens when you are in a rush. On another forum it was posted that you should keep your A and B queues empty...
  15. Advantage to a separate blade for laminated stickers?

    I use a 45 degree for regular cut vinyl and a 60 degree super blade as I call it for anything laminated or the 680CR reflective we use.
  16. Sp-300 not measuring sheet width.URGENT help needed!

    This has happened to me twice both times it was the ribbon cable. It had a worn spot and it either broke or was shorting out.
  17. laminator alignment

    thanks for all the tips. First I didn't center the lam on the machine at all I didn't even really try so thats my first step. Also I have to figure out if I'm even placing the graphic square to the table and rollers. One other question. I taped the backer to the take up roll that...
  18. laminator alignment

    I have a new Royal Sovereign RCH-1401 H. Two days ago we got installed it and put a small roll of oracal 210 lam on it and laminated a few things. There was only maybe 10 feet of lam left on the roll so I couldn't really test it out but wow big improvement over the Big Squeegee. :clapping: So...
