Coral Like Silvering From Middle of Print - Need Advice!

[AToor]

Hi everyone, I’m trying to laminate a 60” wide print (using RCS 6500H) and am having issues with a coral like silvering pattern flowing through. Will this come out naturally or am I doing something wrong in the lamination process? I’ve tried cold and heated, quick and slow and get the same result. I’m guessing my tension is not correct but looking for advice if anyone else has seen this issue. Thank you for your advice!

looks like to much tension on the rollers and too loose on the laminate
when dropping the rollers you only ned them to touch the media
back tension on the roll of laminate is key, you don't want to see any ripples as it unwinds

some laminates silver more than others, normally gos in a days or two
hot lamination is always best,

ring up all your suppliers and ask for a sample roll, stick with the one that works best for you
try to avoid mixing different grades, its good practice to mark the tube with poly, mono, wrap etc

good luck
