Why is the film cloudy or mottled when using my SEAL Image 410 Laminator?
If the film appears cloudy or mottled when using your SEAL Laminator, try increasing the roller temperature or decreasing the motor speed. If you are using thicker films, it may be necessary to increase the roller pressure to compensate for the increased film layer thickness.
What to do if my SEAL Image 410 will not turn on?
If your SEAL Laminator isn't turning on, begin by checking if the power cable is securely plugged into the mains wall outlet. Then, verify the Main Power Stand-by Button is activated, indicated by a lit LED. Ensure that the Emergency Stop buttons haven't been triggered; rotate them to reset. Also, confirm that the Power Disconnect Switch is in the ON position, as setting it to OFF will shut down the laminator. If these steps don't resolve the issue, unplug the laminator and inspect the circuit breakers under the left side plate and the fuse in the power supply. This last step should only be performed by authorized personnel.
Why is the film output rippled or wavy (boat-waking) on my SEAL Image 410?
A rippled or wavy film output on your SEAL Laminator can occur if the laminator wasn't webbed correctly. Also, improper film tension can be a cause, since most encapsulating films need a minimal amount of brake tension. If you are processing photo materials or heat-sensitive prints, try running the laminator at a higher speed. Low speeds increase heat exposure, which can lead to waving.
What to do if the SEAL Image 410 Laminator is not heating up or shows erratic temperature readings?
If your SEAL Laminator is not heating up properly or displays erratic temperature readings, first ensure that the Heater Button is pressed ON, and the corresponding LED is lit. Next, check the circuit breakers on the underside of the left side plate. When first heating up, make sure the rollers are together (with both Nip settings set at ‘0’) and turning at a moderate speed. Additionally, apply tension to images or prints as they are fed into the nip; hold cut sheets back by hand.
What to do if images or prints are rippling or jumping as they are fed into the nip of my SEAL Image 410?
If images or prints are rippling or jumping as they enter the nip of your SEAL Laminator, first check that the Heater Button is ON and the corresponding LED is lit. Also, inspect the circuit breakers on the underside of the left side plate. Ensure the rollers are together (with both Nip settings at ‘0’) and turning at a moderate speed during initial heating. Applying tension to the images or prints as they're fed into the nip by holding cut sheets back by hand can also help.
