Cold Laminate techniques, 3 ways to laminate jobs

[@foxracingrules22]

It seems that you have helped more than at least one person, thank you for the info, it definitely helped me get a better idea on how to use one of these, I was using a plastic scraper and it's kinda a pain with a 70% success rate and keeping the paper still. I'm definitely gonna pick one of these up and give the methods shown a try!

I have an HP Latex 360 and only carry 54" rolls and 54" lam rolls. Even if I have a small job I always use my laminator to laminate.

Can you show how to change and adjust the blades? Your videos are helping me a lot, Thanks for taking the time to do it.

[@down2stick203]

I go thru signwarehouse.com for the vinyl. Prismjet is what I've been using but really want to try out Oraguard.

Hey thanks for the great Video. What laminate can i use for cold rolling. i stuck with which laminate film one to buy. Any assistance or links would be appreciated...

[@down2stick203]

I love the Prismjet Laminate from signwarehouse.com. Never had any complaints.

[@rodmkt]

Thanks for the tutorial! Question, how tight do the rolls have to be? As the tightness in between

[@down2stick203]

on the laminate I kind of do it by feel now. Too tight it will ripple.

[@sparchiayaturner2266]

Thank you

[@MichiK85]

Thanks for this video. Every time I stop there are wrinkles in it. How is that possible? I even can't stop in the middle of the job. Do you have any tips?

[@down2stick203]

Do you keep rollers tight or loose?

[@MichiK85]

@@down2stick203 I think it’s not right enough then

[@sudarphotos-signs]

good, what lamination sheet do you use

[@macvideoworld]

Ouch! I felt hurt myself, while watching how you cut your finger. Please be very careful. I think a safe way is to cut slowly, so you have more control over any accident and stop it before going too far, as well as it wont skid. My trick is apply less force/pressure on the blade, just enough to cut the paper, and go slow. I hope you never cut yourself again doing this process. But other than that good techniques and thanks for the video.

[@down2stick203]

yeah I learned the hard way ha.

Good advice. I was looking at getting one of those laminators and now I will. Though the irony of laminating laminating a sticker about freedom using all tools made in a communist country is sad. Its so expensive to buy American its made the country dependent on China for our standard of living. I think the only American thing I buy is the Transfer paper I use.
