SOLUTION: The laminating temperature is too low; there is not enough heat to melt the adhesive. Increase the laminating temperature.
PROBLEM: The laminated material seems to have an irregular surface that does not match the texture of the paper being coated.
SOLUTION: This is usually caused by adhesive build-up or dirt on the rubber rollers. Inspect the rubber rollers and clean as cessary . Damage to the rubber can also cause irregularities in the surface of the film.
PROBLEM: General haziness or cloudiness in the film after lamination.
SOLUTION: Increase the temperature or decrease the speed. That cloudiness is a function of incomplete adhesion. On a variable speed machine loaded with thicker film, it may be that the film is being run too fast.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Likely cause | Fix (from the manual) |
|---|---|---|
| Film is not adhering | The laminating temperature is too low, so there is not enough heat to melt the adhesive. | Increase the laminating temperature. Page 15 |
| Laminated surface is irregular and does not match the paper texture | Adhesive build-up or dirt on the rubber rollers, or damage to the rubber. | Inspect the rubber rollers and clean them as necessary. Page 15 |
| General haziness or cloudiness in the film | Incomplete adhesion; thicker film may be running too fast. | Increase the temperature or decrease the speed. Page 15 |
