Troubleshooting
Card Warpage
During laminating, heating by the heating roller may cause warpage in cards with a low heat resistance, such as PVC ones.
If card is significantly warped
Lowering the temperature or increasing the speed helps to reduce the heat load on the card, thus causing less warpage. Alter
the temperature and speed gradually while making sure that the adhesiveness is not affected.
Settings can be changed on the status monitor of the computer that is connected to the card printer.
Laminating Condition Settings
Cautions:
If cards with low heat resistance are used, applying a large heat load at once causes the card to deform significantly, and this
may in turn cause card jam inside the laminator unit. Alter the temperature and speed gradually.
Reimbursement will not be done for poor adhesion or card warpage. For more information about the card, please consult our
authorized dealers and evaluate the settings.
