how to install GBC Nap Lam I Laminating Roll

  • Prepare your laminator: Power on the device and ensure it is warmed to the recommended temperature for polyester-based films. Refer to your laminator’s user manual for the exact temperature setting appropriate for Nap Lam I.
  • Load the roll correctly: Remove any old film from the supply and take care to thread the Nap Lam I roll smoothly through the feed path. Align the roll so the film unwinds evenly without kinks or twists, and ensure the film guides are clean and properly positioned.
  • Set tension and make adjustments: If your laminator provides tension controls, set them to minimize tension fluctuations during operation. This helps prevent misfeeds and ensures consistent sheet feeding for porous media with light ink coverage.
  • Prepare test sheets: Run a single test sheet that matches the media you typically laminate. Observe for curling, edge adhesive, or shifted alignment. Use the test results to adjust feed speed and temperature as needed.
  • Laminate final pieces: Once your test sheet meets quality expectations, proceed with regular lamination. After lamination, allow the sheets to cool before trimming to maintain edge stability and prevent warping.

Frequently asked questions

  • Is Nap Lam I suitable for heavy ink coverage materials? Nap Lam I is optimized for porous surfaces with light ink coverage.

The polyester-based film resists moisture, fingerprints, and minor abrasion, helping keep documents legible and pristine over time. It’s particularly effective for certificates, manuals, posters, and handouts that are circulated often.

  • How should I store Nap Lam I rolls? Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent film degradation. Keep rolls sealed and upright to prevent dust buildup and to maintain smooth unwinding when you return to lamination tasks.
