Troubleshooting
Pouch not sealing completely
Ensure the laminator has reached the correct temperature. Try feeding the pouch again, possibly with the open edge first. Check that the pouch is not too thick for your machine.
Bubbles or wrinkles in the lamination
This can be due to insufficient heat or feeding the pouch too quickly. Allow the laminator to fully heat up and try feeding at a steady pace. Ensure the document is flat within the pouch.
Pouch getting stuck in the laminator
Turn off the laminator immediately and gently try to pull the pouch out. Use a carrier if your machine came with one. Ensure the pouch is correctly aligned and not creased before feeding.
Cloudy or hazy appearance
This may indicate the laminator is not hot enough. Increase the temperature setting if possible, or allow more time for the machine to heat up.
