  If the film doesn't stick to the media when using your ACCO Brands Laminator, make sure the ready light is on, indicating the machine is hot enough. If it is, try a slower speed setting. Also, confirm that you've selected the proper film thickness. If problems persist, the inks, toners, toner oils, or coatings may not be compatible with the adhesives; if possible, try printing the document on another printer.

  If you notice long ripples appearing on the film and/or media when using the ACCO Brands Laminator, it could be that the film is too hot when exiting the pull rollers. Try slowing down the laminator. This issue is common on longer lamination runs, so try shorter runs or stop to let the machine cool down when ripples appear.

Why does the film have bubbles with ACCO Brands Pinnacle 27?

  If the film has bubbles when using your ACCO Brands Laminator, it could be due to uneven tension across the width of the film. Try swapping the top and bottom rolls. Also, check for debris in the film, on the media, or on the rollers, and wipe them down with a lint-free cloth. Be cautious when slitting film for roll changes or jams to prevent cuts into the heat roller silicone.
