Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Easymount laminator.
Easymount is a high performance wide format mounting and laminating system with a
solid construction built to last.
The Easymount is great for mounting prints to boards and applying pressure sensitive laminates
as well as applying application tapes, double sided adhesives and vinyl’s.
The system is easy to use and much faster than squeegeeing by hand and is an ideal solution
to eliminating the hassles and expense of outsourcing.
Please read these instructions carefully before starting to use the system to ensure you
get the best results and are competent at operation.
Should you experience any problems please contact us and we will be happy to help. Call

Set-up
Ensure the system is positioned in a safe and convenient place,
please read all safety requirements before operating your
Easymount.
Connect the foot pedal into the relevant socket at the rear of the
system and lock the wheel brakes in place.
The single heated Easymount can be run either cold or warm to
switch between the two modes press the hot roller button on the
control panel, The display will then show HOT next to the top roller
icon.
Set the desired temperature using the up or down buttons. Both the
set temperature and the actual temperature are displayed.

Set-up
To drive the machine press either the forward drive button (left
hand arrow) for continuous drive or step button (middle arrow) for
the foot switch. The foot switch over rides the magic eye, it is
advisable to start the machine with the foot pedal & then press the
continuous button when running.
The films will then begin to be drawn through the machine. NOTE:
When using continuous mode if the ‘magic eye’ sensor is blocked by
material or hands the machine will stop, to override the sensor press
the foot pedal.
You can adjust the rate at which the machine laminates by turning
the ‘speed control knob’ up to a maximum of 6m/min.

Open Mandrel locking
sleeve.
Pull out the Swing
out arm and slide
the laminate in place.

Installation of Laminating Films
9
Locate the swing out arm
back into its home position
& centralize the laminate
on the mandrel using the
measurement guide.
Remove the take up
mandrel [waste mandrel]
by opening both locking
sleeves and slide on a 3
inch core, then lock the
mandrel back into place.

10
Film Loading
Remove Safety Guard & Media support plate.
Higher the roller and pull the laminate through the machine.
Put tension on the laminate.

Installation of Laminating Films
11
Pull the laminate from the back of
the machine in the centre of the
laminate with one hand while lowering
the top roller with the other hand.
Please ensure you do not over tighten the roller pressure as it
can cause a creasing effect in the centre of the media.
Once film is held in place separate the backing paper
from the film using the safety knife provided.
Select foot pedal mode and select a slow speed, then
press the foot pedal and inch the laminate through the
rollers until the cut backing paper faces you.

12
Pull the backing paper up towards the take up mandrel from
the centre and secure it to the core using packing tape in 3
places, the centre, left and right.
Pull the remaining backing paper of the laminate down to the
feed table and roll your vinyl and place in the hooks provided.
Insert the media support plate and safety guard.
Feed your media over the feed table
and into the nip of the rollers.
When doing this ensure the vinyl is flat.

Installation of Laminating Films
13
The Laminate should be tensioned enough to
prevent creases on the media, if the laminate
is following the backing paper either reduce the
tension on the backing paper or increase the
tension on the laminate.
Loading Roll to Roll
Open bottom mandrel locking sleeve
and slide the vinyl in the centre of the mandrel.

14
Lift the feed table in the up position and secure remaining
media to the film, higher the top roller and insert the vinyl
around the threading bar into the rollers.
You need to use a small amount of
tension to hold the vinyl taught.
Hold both the laminate and vinyl from the
centre at the back of the machine and lower
the roller down until the neutral position until you feel
resistance.
Please Note:
When the Easymount is not in use lift the rollers to
prevent flat spots, which could cause a line in future
work on every revolution of the roller.

15
Optional Extras
Take-up Unit
Remove blanking plates using a 5mm Allan key. Secure the left and right brackets to the machine.
Plug in the take up unit. Select full speed, forward & combine. Fit the take up mandrel (note the bracket is
sprung loaded on the motorised unit). Then using double sided tape attach media/laminate to the core,
the Easymount laminator is now ready to run prints reel to reel.

16
Laminating Adjustments
Temperature
Most pressure sensitive films benefit from around 40°C / 104°F of heat being applied to help eliminate
‘silvering’. If you don’t get the desired result with 40°C / 104°F continue adding 5°C / 41°F of heat until you
get the finish required.
Speed
Adjust the speed until you get the required results
Roller Pressure
Under normal operation wind the roller pressure adjustment handle until the rollers meet and the handle
goes into a neutral mode then turn gently until you feel resistance. Then just apply an extra 1/8 of a turn to
ensure there is sufficient pressure. If ‘BOW’ marks appear across the laminated document there is too
much roller pressure applied and the top roller should be lifted slightly.

17
General Maintenance
The most expensive part of a laminator is usually the rollers. If these become damaged they are costly
to repair. Always ensure you look after the rollers and clean them regularly to avoid a
build up of glue (see advice below). Never hold a sharp object such as a knife close to
the rollers in case of catching the rubber as this could cause permanent damage that
will effect the result of your work.
When your laminator is cooling down, always separate the rollers using the roller
pressure control, this will ensure that your rollers do not touch when still hot as this
could leave a ‘flat spot’.
Cleaning the rollers
It is easier to remove adhesive from the rollers when they are warm. Do not attempt
this if the system is hot (above 40oC). Always use a clean cloth and a mild anti-static
foam cleaner such as Amberclens by Ambersil or similar. Do not use a heavy duty
solvent or anything abrasive.
If the film becomes jammed in the system in any way and there is a large build up of
adhesive, do not try and remove this yourself. Contact us for advice.

Trouble Shooting
Problem
18
Media lifting in centre and wrinkling going through the rollers.
This is caused by adding too much roller pressure.
Solution
Take pressure off rollers and drop down loosely into the neutral
position.
The media will then correct itself and run through smoothly.
Film running loose and climbing up onto the take up core.
This occurs when there is NO tension added to the film.

Trouble Shooting
Problem
19
Laminate or media lifting at edges.
Solution
Firstly, ensure the laminate and vinyl have sufficient tension.
Add tension to the film by turning the tension handles in a
clockwise direction. This must be done tightly for the film.
The film will now ‘tension’ and separate behind the roller and run
through without creasing.
Media running too tight over the feed tray. This happens when the
media is loaded onto the system and fed over the feed tray.
