Pre- Installation
Before a Talon 44/64 Laminator can be installed, ensure
the following requirements are met;
1. Are doorways and hallways wide enough for the lami
nator to be moved to the installation site?
2. Is there ample room for the laminator?
– A work area must be established that allows for opera-
tion in both the front and rear of the laminator and
provides space for efficient material flow. (Figure 3)
3. Is the environment appropriate for the laminator?
– The laminator requires a clean, dust and vapor free
environment to operate properly.
– Avoid locating the laminator near sources of heat or
cold. Avoid locating the laminator in the direct path of
forced, heated or cooled air.

CAUTION
: Air flow can cause uneven heating/ cooling of
the rollers and result in poor output quality.
4. Have you contacted a certified electrician to wire the
receptacle and ensure that adequate power is being
supplied, having the appropriate capacity, over current
protection and safety lockouts available?

Installation
1. Shipping damage should be brought to the immediate attention of the delivering carrier.
2. With assistance, carefully roll the laminator into posi-
tion over flat and even surfaces.
3. The laminator should be positioned to allow exiting film
to flow freely to the floor or a work table (Figure 4).
Accumulation of laminate immediately behind the laminator as it exits the equipment may cause the film to
wrap around the pull rollers, resulting in a “jammed”
condition.
4. Avoid locating the laminator near sources of heat or
cold. Avoid locating the laminator in the direct path of
forced, heated or cooled air.
5. Once the laminator has been properly positioned,
lock the castors in place. Locking the castors prevent
the machine from rolling during set up, operation or
servicing.
6. The heaters must be installed by a GBC qualified
service technician. Refer to your Warranty section
for explanation of “Qualified”.
7. Connect the attachment plug provided with the laminator
to a suitably grounded outlet. Avoid connecting other
equipment to the same branch circuit to which
the laminator is connected, as this may result in
nuisance tripping of circuit breakers or blowing
fuses.

Operating Instructions
Film Loading & Threading
The top and bottom rolls of laminating film must be of the
same width and be present simultaneously. A small amount
of adhesive will “squeeze out” during lamination. Hardened
adhesive deposits can damage the heat rollers. To avoid
any damage, select “Low-Prs Laminating” on the roller
handle, rotate the rollers at slowest speed with heat on.
Refer to the section entitled CARING FOR THE TALON
44/ 64 LAMINATOR for instructions regarding removal of
the accumulated adhesive.
Adhesive will deposit on the rollers if:
- Only one roll is used.
- Different widths of rolls are loaded together.
- Either roll is loaded adhesive side against a heat
roller.
- One or both rolls of film are allowed to run completely
off its core.
Fig 22
The adhesive side of the film is on the inner side of the web
(Figure 22). The shiny side of clear film must contact the
heat rollers. The dull side of the film contains the adhesive.
Use extreme caution when loading delustered (matte) film
as both sides appear dull.
Always change the top and bottom supply rolls at the same
time. Near the end of each roll of GBC laminating film is
a label stating “Warning-End of Roll”. The appearance of
this label on either the top or bottom roll requires that new
rolls of film be installed as soon as the item presently being
laminated completely exits the rear of the laminator. Do not
introduce any additional items into the laminator when the
warning label is visible.
To load a roll of film; (Figure 23)
1. Lift up on the round end, left side (1), of the unwind/
rewind shaft.
2. Pull the hex end, right side (2), of the shaft out and
away from the laminator.
3. Slide the roll of film onto the film shaft ensuring adhesive side is out.

Operations Manual
The Art of Lamination
TALON 44/64 CE
Basic Rules
Do not attempt to laminate abrasive or metal objects
such as staples, paper clips and glitter, as they may
damage the heat or pull rollers.
Do not force items into the nip area of the heat rollers.
An item that is not easily drawn into the laminator by
the heat rollers is probably too thick to laminate.
Wrinkles may result if an attempt is made to reposi
tion an item once it has been grasped by the heat
rollers.
Do not stop the laminator before an item has completely
exited the pull rollers. Even a momentary stop will
cause a mark (heat line) on the laminated item.
Good, consistent lamination is a result of combining proper
heat, tension and dwell time. Dwell time is controlled by
the speed of the motor and is defined as the amount of
time the material to be laminated is compressed between
the heat rollers.
As a general rule, thicker items and film need to run at slower
speeds because they extract more heat from the rollers at
a quicker rate. Setting the speed control at slower settings
gives the laminator longer dwell time thus allowing proper
lamination of thick items. Thinner items, such as standard
copier paper (20 lb. bond) and tissue paper, extract less
heat from the rollers and can be run at faster speeds.
Film Tension
Proper film tension, known as brake tension, is the minimum
amount required to eliminate wrinkles in the finished item.
The film should be taut. A properly adjusted roll of film
should not require excessive force to turn by hand.
Film tension should be enough to introduce a minor amount
of drag as the film unrolls. Insufficient tension causes wrinkles, while too much tension causes stretching (necking).
-
Uneven tension between the top and bottom rolls creates
curl. Too much upper tension creates upward curl while
too much bottom tension causes downward curl.
The heat roller clutch is set at the factory. Periodic adjust
ments may be necessary if after adjusting unwind and rewind
brake tensions do not improve your output quality.
-

Page 33
Page 34
TALON 44/64 CE
Heat
The “WAIT (Too COLD)” indicator may appear if the speed
is set too fast for the material being laminated. Either lower
the speed setting or press STOP and wait until the
“READY” indicator appears.
Operation of the laminator for more than thirty minutes at
a time may necessitate a lower speed setting. It is recom
mended that, during periods of long runs, the items being
laminated are alternated between thick and thin. Do not
combine thick and thin items at the same time, as this will
result in a poor edge seal around the thinner material. If
you are unsure that the laminator is set at the proper speed
for the item to be laminated, run a test piece (scrap) of
the same or similar material through the laminator. This
procedure is recommended because rotating the heat
roller prior to lamination will more evenly distribute the
heat. Make speed adjustments if necessary.
