What to do if my GBC Ultima 65 Laminator won't turn on?
If your GBC Laminator isn't turning on, make sure the main power switch is in the 'ON' (I) position. Also, check that the plug is properly inserted into the receptacle, and reset the circuit breaker if necessary.
How to fix long ripples on GBC Laminator film?
If long ripples appear on the film or media when using your GBC Laminator, it may be because the film is too hot when exiting the pull rollers. Try slowing down the laminator. This is common on longer lamination runs, so try shorter runs or stop to let the machine cool.
Why is my GBC Ultima 65 film not sticking to media?
If the film isn't sticking to the media in your GBC Laminator, it could be due to several reasons. First, ensure the ready light is on, indicating the machine is hot enough. If it is, try a slower speed setting and confirm that you've selected the proper film thickness. It's also possible that the adhesives won't stick to certain inks, toners, toner oils, or coatings; if so, try printing the document on another printer if possible.
What to do if GBC Laminator film or media appears cloudy?
If the film or media appears cloudy, milky, or exhibits silvering (very small dots in dark areas) when using your GBC Laminator, first, make sure the ready light is on. If the issue persists, try a slower speed setting and confirm the correct film thickness is selected. Also, adhesives may not stick to select inks/toners/oils/coatings, so try another printer if possible. If none of the above resolves the issue, the machine might be too hot; try letting it cool.
Why does my GBC Ultima 65 stop while laminating?
If your GBC Laminator rollers stop or stall during lamination, it could be because the media is too thick; try using thinner media if possible. If the film is wrapped around the roller, use the procedure outlined in Clearing a Jam.
How to fix waves on one side of GBC Ultima 65 Laminator film?
If you notice waves on one side of the film or media when using the GBC Laminator, it may be due to uneven tension causing the film to walk during lamination. Make sure all saddles are fully closed. You can also try swapping the top and bottom film rolls.
What causes checker boarding on GBC Ultima 65 Laminator output?
If your GBC Laminator output has little square patterns (checker boarding), it may be because the film is too hot when exiting the pull rollers. Try slowing down the laminator. This is common on longer lamination runs, so try shorter runs or stop to let the machine cool.
What to do if GBC Ultima 65 is on but will not run?
If your GBC Laminator is powered on but not running, ensure that the Heat Shield and Feed table are fully closed.
How to prevent tenting with my GBC Ultima 65 Laminator?
If you're experiencing a gap or air pocket between the edge of the media and the film (tenting) with your GBC laminator, especially when using thicker media, try running the laminator slower. Also, ensure the ready light is on and the temperature is proper. When possible, use thinner media.
How do I get rid of bubbles in GBC Ultima 65 Laminator film?
If your GBC Laminator film has bubbles, it could be due to uneven tension across the width of the film; try swapping the top and bottom rolls. It could also be caused by debris in the film, on the media, or on the roller; wipe them down with a lint-free cloth. A cut or divot in the heat roller silicone can also cause bubbles, so use caution when slitting film for roll changes or jams to prevent cuts into the rollers.
