Laminating is a practical way to protect documents, photos and projects for a long time. The Fichero Laminator A3 or A4 makes it super easy. And with these handy tips & tricks, you will get the best results from every laminating session.
1. Warm up first!
Good preparation is half the battle, especially when laminating. Give your laminator time to warm up properly:
- Fichero Laminator A3: 2-3 minutes
- Fichero Laminator A4: 3-5 minutes
By allowing the machine to warm up properly, the glue in the laminating pouch melts evenly. This ensures a neat, bubble-free finish.
2. Choose the right laminating pouches
For best results, use the special Fichero A3 and A4 laminating pouches. They are perfectly matched to your laminator and ensure a smooth process.
3. Position documents perfectly
A small mistake when feeding can make a big difference. So keep these tips in mind:
- Central alignment: Place your document nicely in the centre of the cover, with equal margins on all sides. This will prevent the glue from leaking out.
- Sealed edge first: Always insert the sealed edge of the sleeve into the laminator first. This prevents jamming and ensures perfect feed.
4. Document stuck? Don't panic!
Oops, a snag after all? No worries!
Simply press the release button to safely remove the cover. This way, you protect both your document and the machine from damage.
5. Take care of your laminated document afterwards
After laminating, it is smart to let your document cool down flat for a while.
Lay it flat or clamp it under a heavy book. This will prevent it from curling up and keep everything nice and flat.
6. Keep your laminator in tip-top shape
- Clean regularly: Clean the rollers occasionally to avoid glue residue and streaks. Don't forget to unplug them first!
- Give your laminator a rest: Do not use the laminator longer than two hours at a time. This will prevent overheating and prolong the life of the device.
