Hey all. So we had a technician come in and check out our laminator, which was working okay but would get wrinkles in it on a long enough lamination. Well, he came by and made some adjustments (couldn't watch what he did unfortunately, was also training on our new HP printer the same day) and...

Just wandering if manufacturers should make lamination rolls the same size as the print vinyl (As they do right now, .25" smaller or a .5" smaller? Stuff happens, your printed vinyl wound uneven and it will weave, you did not align it right with a lamination when laminating, or whatever the...
