IMPORTANT: Don’t laminate one-of-a-kind documents unless ou are sure of our
laminating skills and can afford to damage or ruin the document.
Don’t laminate valuable items such as stamps, baseball cards, autographs, or other
collectibles because the value of such items can be destro ed b lamination. Collectors
generall value these kinds of items onl in their original state.
Remember that ou cannot laminate thermal paper because it is activated b heat and will
turn black. Also, remove paper clips and staples because the can damage the rubber
rollers. Be careful about laminating an thing that will be affected b heat. For example, the
colors in cra on drawings ma run together or be smeared, especiall if the cra on la er is
heav . Light cra on drawings ma not be affected, but test an expendable sample of an
item that ma not laminate well.
IMPORTANT: Éviter de plastifier du papier thermosensible pusqu’ll noircira sous l’effet de la
chaleur, et enlever les trombones et les agrafes gul risquent d’endommager les rouleaux de
caoutchouc. Prendre certaines précautions avant de plastifier des articles susceptibles de
réagir à la chaleur comme les dessins au pastel dont les couleurs baver et se mélanger,
surtout si la couche de pastel est épaisse. Les pastels en couche mince peuvent ne pas
réagir, mais, en cas de doute, il est préférable de faire un essai avec un échantillon perdu.
e pas plastifier les documents importants dont il n’existe qu’un seul exemplaire, à moins de
bien malitriser la technique de plastification.
e pas plastifier non plus les articles de collection comme les trimbres, les cartes de
baseball, les autographes ou autres, qui peuvent perdre leur valeur pour les collectionneurs
s’ils ne sont plus dans leur état d’origine.
IMPORTANTE: Recuerde que no puede laminar papel térmico ya que es activado por el
calor y se tornará negro. Retire también cualquier sujeta-papeles o grapa, puesto que
pueden danar los rodillos de goma. Evite laminar cosas sensibles al calor, por ejemplo, los
colores de dibujos hechos en lápiz de pastel pueden no ser afectados, pero ensaye con
alguna muestra descartable, en los ìtemes que podrían no laminarse bien.
o lamine ningún documento único, a no ser que esté muy seguro de sus habilidades de
laminador y pueda permitirse arruinar el documento.
o lamine artículos de valor, como estampillas, tarjetas de béisbol, autógrafos, u otros
coleccionables, ya que su valor puede ser destruido por la laminación. En general, las
coleccionistas valoran este tipo de artículo en su estado original.

1- FEATURES & BENEFITS
Your new laminator has several standard features that set it apart from other models.
•
••
• Variable speed The laminator operates at an speed up to 7 feet per minute. Thicker
films are generall applied better at mid-range to lower speeds, while 1.5-mil film should
be applied at mid-range to higher speeds.
•
••
• LCD temperature display makes it eas to set and maintain the correct temperature.
The indicator light inside the heat switch comes on as the machine warms up. When set
temperature is reached, the indicator light turns off.
•
••
• Simple controls Convenientl placed switches provide a compact, reliable control pad.
Icons and international s mbols are used for controls and safet warnings.
•
••
• Slitters The slitters remove the side scrap from both sides of each sheet as it goes
through the laminator. This greatl reduces the amount of time required for trimming.
•
••
• Easy threading Since threading can be the most difficult task in using a laminator, the
Premier 4 has built in threading aids. The top idler is guarded from the top heat shoe for
safet and eas threading. The bottom idler is attached to the feed tra . Once the upper
and lower webs of film have been run through the machine, bottom idler threading is
automatic when the operator puts the feed tra on the machine.
•
••
• Forced air-cooling allows laminating with thicker films. Without a cooling s stem,
thicker films will warp or ripple because the are still too hot when the come out the back
of the laminator. The three fans in the 25-inch Premier 4 provide a more effective cooling
s stem than an other machine in its class.
•
••
• Ease of cleaning The silicone rubber rollers and the Teflon-coated heat shoes on the
laminator should be cleaned regularl .
•
••
• Attached safety shield The pol carbonate shield is clear so operators can see their
work. It does not conduct heat, providing protection from hot areas, and it’s fixed to the
machine so operators will naturall put it in the guard position before laminating.
•
••
• Lamination pressure The rubber rollers are spring-loaded and preset to ensure correct
and even lamination pressure. The pressure is eas to adjust if required when performing
routine maintenance.
•
••
• Supply roll tension controls Suppl roll tension is eas to adjust b simpl tightening or
loosening the tension control knobs on the suppl roll mandrels.

7
•
••
• Resettable fuse The machine can be reset using the push button fuse reset located in
the back of the machine above the plug receptacle. (See Section 3, Product Illustrations
and Names of Parts.)
•
••
• Ease of maintenance The Premier 4 is made to last; however, some items on a
laminator do wear out. Even the high-qualit silicone rubber used in the rollers will lose
flexibilit over time. Extensive use ma wear out the rollers, or an operator ma
accidentall cut a roller. Rollers and other ke parts can be changed quickl without
disassembling the frame.
•
••
• Reverse can be invaluable at times to help avoid problems or clear misfeeds.
•
••
• Right and left adjustable feed guides help to feed the graphics into the rollers in a
consistent manner.
•
••
• Silicone rubber laminating rollers are flexible enough to provide a good edge seal and
firm enough to offer a good surface seal. A high silicone content insures a much longer
average roller life.
•
••
• Very strong steel cores prevent roller flexing and insure uniform pressure across the
width of the laminate, giving ou the best qualit lamination available in a medium-dut
commercial machine.
•
••
• Zippy safety cutter is shipped with the laminator to allow quick and eas cutting and
trimming of the lamination web.
•
••
• Controls to open and close the laminating rollers make threading easier and allow
even heating of laminating rollers during warm-up.
•
••
• Removable power cord prevents unauthorized usage without locking awa the whole
machine.
•
••
• Proudly made in the USA
•
••
• ETL and CE approved for use in USA and Canada ( 0v version)

1-3 OPTIONS
Although the Premier 4 was designed to include all of the standard features mentioned
above, there are options available to make the Premier 4 even more versatile.
•
••
• Resettable footage counter measures film usage in feet; also available in a metric
version.
•
••
• Roll feed tray It is difficult to hand feed a long item such as a banner it into the laminator
perfectl straiight. When the banner is rolled onto an empt film core and put onto the roll
feed assembl , laminating the longest item becomes relativel eas . The roll feed is
especiall helpful for posters, banners, and other long items.

1-5 PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
The laminator operates b pulling film with a thermall activated adhesive over a heat source
and into a set of laminating rollers. Film from a suppl roll passes over heat shoes to activate
a pol eth lene adhesive la er on the film. It then passes through rubber rollers to appl
pressure and bond the film to the item being laminated. The film's adhesive is pressed into
the ink and fibers on the surface of the paper.
The strength of the lamination bond can be checked b cutting a large “X” on the surface of a
laminated sample with a sharp blade. Use the tip of the blade to pr up one corner of the “X”.
Grab that corner and pull up the film. Ink and/or paper fibers coming up with the la er of film
indicates a good adhesive bond.
If the film comes up too easil , with no ink or paper, the lamination was probabl done at too
low a temperature. Check the instructions that ma have come with our laminating film
and/or the lamination temperature chart in section 5-5.
Please note that when doing an X-test on gloss (coated) paper, a good X-test will pull up ink
onl . The film should not come up easil . When laminating material that is not gloss
(uncoated), the paper is often more fibrous, and a good X-test will ield ink and paper fibers
coming up with the film.
1-6 LAMINATING FILM
Most thermal laminating film consists of two la ers: a base of pol ester and an adhesive la er
of pol eth lene. The pol ester la er forms the harder outer surface of the film and does not
melt at laminating temperature. It provides rigidit and protection for our laminated items.
The greater the pol ester content, the higher the level of protection, rigidit and luster. The
pol eth lene la er melts at laminating temperature and bonds the film to the subject material
under the pressure of the laminating rollers. As an X-test demonstrates, the adhesive is
pressed into the paper and fills irregularities in the surface.
The proportion of pol ester and pol eth lene in a film is usuall described with numbers. For
example, a “1-2” film consists of one mil of pol ester and two mils of pol eth lene. The first
number refers to the base la er. The second number refers to the adhesive la er. A mil is
1/1000 of an inch.
Since pol ester is the more costl of the two t pes of plastic generall used in laminating film,
a “3-2” film will cost more than a “2-3” film. Both are 5-mil films but the “3-2” version will
seem a little thicker on a piece of laminated material because it will be slightl stiffer.
Thermal laminating films are available in man different base/adhesive combinations. Five-
mil film, for example, can be found in 1-4, 2-3, 3-2, and 4-1 combinations.

11
In the US laminating trade, the generall accepted practice is to describe two-sided
lamination, or encapsulation, b the thickness of one la er of film. For example, “3-mil
lamination” generall means lamination with two la ers of 3-mil film. If ou are bu ing or
selling laminating film or lamination services, please make sure both parties understand the
film descriptions being used.
There is a large variet of thermal laminating films available to suit man different kinds of
applications. Some of the more commonl used “special” film t pes or film additives are:
•
••
• film with low-melt adhesives, also known as co-pol mer films; these often have better
clarit and are less likel to curl or ripple
•
••
• matte films to eliminate glare or to accept printing or writing; man suppliers offer films
with both gloss and matte (non-glare) finishes
•
••
• film with UV inhibitors to protect colors in the laminated material from fading in sunlight
•
••
• thermal film incorporating a pressure-sensitive adhesive and a release liner on its outer
side to permit, for example, a poster with this material laminated on the back to be
mounted easil without fasteners or tape
•
••
• high clarit films, some of which include a protective liner on the top outer surface, which
is removed b the recipient to reveal a surface perfectl free of dust, scratches, or
abrasion.
•
••
• opaque or colored films for the back side of a lamination to form a border on a laminated
piece.
•
••
• iridescent clear films for special visual effects
•
••
• permanentl waterproof films for outdoor, underwater, or special applications. The most
common thermal laminating films are made with water-based primers and will eventuall
delaminate if continuall exposed to water or weather; trul waterproof films are made
with special primers.
Rolls of film ma be purchased in different widths. The size of the laminator is the onl
limitation to the width of the film rolls ou can use. The Premier 4 can use 4-,12-,18-, or 25-
inch rolls. Make sure the upper and lower roll widths are the same and are aligned with each
other.
Film rolls are also produced in various lengths (250', 500', 1000'). The Premier 4 will easil
accommodate film rolls up to a 5-1/2" diameter.
When installing film, alwa s center the rolls of film on the suppl roll mandrels so the core
grippers engage the cardboard core. Look for the score marks around the suppl roll
mandrels to aid in aligning the top and bottom rolls.

12
We recommend 3-mil film for most common applications, including posters, signs or
instructional aids. The 3-mil film provides better protection, more rigidit , and a more lustrous
appearance than 1.5-mil film. Five-mil or 10-mil film is suggested for those applications that
need the most protection and rigidit .
Lamination with 1.5-mil film can sometimes present problems because the film is so thin it
loses heat easil . It sounds backwards, but 1.5-mil film has to be run at a higher temperature
than a 3-mil film with the same adhesive. The higher temperature compensates for the faster
rate of heat loss during lamination. A standard 3-mil film is applied at approximatel 240° F,
while a standard 1.5-mil film must be applied at around 260° F. Even when applied at 280° F,
a 1.5-mil film is still more likel to delaminate later.
If the item being laminated is fairl thick, it will pull heat from the film. This will lower the
temperature of the 1.5-mil film and prevent it from sticking properl . When laminating thick
items with standard 1.5-mil film, it ma be necessar to raise the temperature to 280° F or
300° F. Do not use an higher temperature for an film than is needed to get an acceptable
degree of adhesion, as measured b an X-test. Remember there are low-temperature films
that should run at much lower temperatures than those cited in this example. (See Section
5-5, Recommended Temperature Settings.)
Rolls of film are sometimes spliced. Most film suppliers will mark a splice with colored tape.
This wa , ou can see the splice as a “dash” of color on either end of the roll. If ou spot a
spliced roll in advance, ou can put it on the top suppl roll mandrel in order to see the splice
coming more easil and avoid putting material under the splice. Alternativel , ou could put it
on the bottom roll if ou plan to be laminating items that will never be seen from the back
side.
