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 vinyls.
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.

mandrel support brackets
5. Re-load the mandrel on to the brackets
with the lm feeding from the bottom of
the mandrel, if the lm is wound with the
lm on the outside, or o the top of the
roll if the lm is wound on the inside.
2. Loosen the two fastening screws on
one of the mandrel core grips, slide o
one side.
3. Slide on the lm positioning it centrally
on the mandrel and re-x the core grips.
4. Release the tension on the lm by
turning the ‘friction adjustment sleeve’
Pressure sensitive lm (loaded on the top mandrel)
Installation of Laminating Films
1. Remove the mandrel from the mandrel
support brackets
2. Loosen the two fastening screws on
the mandrel core grips, slide o one side
3. Slide on the liner paper/mount lm
and position centrally to match the top
4. Re-load the mandrel into the brackets

3. Drape the lm over the upper roller
and stick the liner paper to the take up
mandrel using double sided tape
1. Following the loading diagram feed
the paper up over the lower roller
and stick it to the adhesive side of the
pressure sensitive lm
5. Press the drive button and feed
through. PLEASE NOTE When the board
is through the rollers the pressure handle
will need to be adjusted to compensate
for thickness
2. Using the pressure handle raise the
upper roller
3. Using a piece of sti card or mount
board push the overlapped lms into the
nip of the roller
4. Using the roller pressure handle lower
the upper roller so it clamps the material

1. Using the pressure handle raise the
upper roller
5. Using the safety cutter provided slice
between the release paper and lm
cutting only the release paper
6. Apply double sided tape to the release
liner take up core and attach release liner
2. Place vinyl/print through rollers from
feed tray and onto back plate

push through the rollers
4. Using the pressure wheel bring the
rollers down until the handle goes in
neutral mode and slight resistance is felt
Alternative Method
Feeding the Film
7. Press the‘forward’ drive button. The
lm and print will be pulled through the
machine
9. The machine is now in its loaded state
you can lower the feed table, you are now
ready to laminate your prints.
8. Ensure the top and bottom lms match
each other and dont overlap left to right.
If they dont line up, loosen the mandrel
core grip and slide the lm left/right until
they match and then re-tighten
1. Plug in the foot pedal 3. The lms will then begin to be drawn
through the machine
4. You can adjust the rate at which the
machine laminates by turning the speed
control knob
2. To drive the machine press either the
drive button (left hand arrow) 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 in the foot switch mode slowly
& then press the continuous button when
running

5. Ensure that as the lm is being drawn
over the rollers it is smooth. If it isnt you
can apply tension to the lm mandrel by
turning the core grip adjustment sleeve
apply just enough pressure to remove
any airpockets or creases
6. Your document can now be fed into
the laminator. Place the document at
on the feed table and push it towards the
nip of the rollers
1. 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

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 & then press the continuous
button when running
6. You can adjust the rate at which the
machine laminates by turning the‘speed
control knob’
5. The lms will the begin to be drawn
through the machine.

Temperature
Most pressure sensitive lms benet from around 40°C of heat being applied to help elliminate ‘silvering’. If you dont get the
desired result with 40°C continue adding 5°C of heat until you get the nish 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 1/8of a turn to ensure there is sucient pressure.
If ‘BOW’marks appear across the laminated document there is too much roller pressure applied and the top roller should be
lifted slightly.
1. Position the mount lm centrally on
the mandrel and lift it into position on
the brackets
3. Stick it to the exposed pressure
sensitive lm as before. * Ensure the
sticky side of the mount lm is facing
towards you and away from the roller
surface.
* Go through steps of feeding the lm
2. Pull the mount lm up and towards the
bottom roller.
Alternative Method
Mount Film
1. 3 media brackets space evenly on cross
member
3. Either tape leading edge to feeder
sheet OR...
2. Place your roll of media on the brackets
and bring leading edge over the front of
the feed tray
Media Brackets
Optional Extras
...with rollers lifted feed through the
machine and attach to the take up unit
(optional extra)
4. Lower the rollers until neutral position
and tighten until you feel resistance, you
are now ready to run the media from reel
to reel
Media Rewind Take Up
1. To t remove blanking plates from rear
of the machine
3. Fit the other bracket in place of the
right hand blanking plate
2. Fit motorized bracket in place of the
blanking bracket - left hand side looking
from the rear of the machine
