Lamination machines are ideal for preserving, protecting and enhancing Pictures, Drawings,
Certificates, Photos, Notices, Magazine Recipes and many other similar items.
When laminating, we recommend that you leave minimum margin of 3mm / ⅛ inch around the edge.
If Laminating several object leave a space of 6mm / ¼ inch between objects. Larger borders can
bubble or cause glue leakage.
We recommend that this laminator is only used for paper and similar materials. If your lamination
pouch is too big it can be trimmed.
If you need to cut a pouch do so after laminating. Cut pouches can leak glue in to your machine.
Pouches are also easier to cut accurately when laminated. We suggest that you use a Pavo Paper
Trimmer.
Choosing a Lamination Pouch:
On the packaging of your chosen lamination pouches a thickness will/should be advised in microns.
The thicker the lamination pouch is, the more rigid it will be after lamination. Some brands include a
pouch carrier; you do not need to use this with Pavo machines.
For this machines all pouches sizes from Credit Card up to A4 can be used with a maximum
thickness of 2x80 (160) microns.
All major brands can be used. We recommend Pavo pouches for optimum quality, they are also
Anti-Static and easier to use.
We recommend running a test lamination especially before laminating precious pictures / documents
or when changing pouch brands (Pouch quality can vary from brand to brand).
Machine Maintenance
For machine health we recommend that a page of blotting or similar paper is passed on its own
through the machine on a regular basis. This will help to remove excess adhesive that may have
leaked from the lamination pouches. This is best done when the machine is hot.
The rated current of current fuse is 2,5A.
Excess adhesive on rollers can cause spotting and may eventually cause your machine to jam.
A)
If your pouch is not sealed, temperature is either too cold or there is not a big enough margin.
B)
If your pouch is cloudy the temperature is too low for the type of pouch being used or the
pouch to full. Try passing it through the machine one more time.
C)
If there are spots on the pouch. Glue has seeped from pouches on to rollers. Clean Rollers as
advised. If spotting is a persistent problem even after regular cleaning we suggest that you try
an alternative brand of pouches.
