OperationsOrca 80-99 Operation and Maintenance Manual
© GBC Films Group June 2000
The process charts are also an excellent tool for training
new operators. They provide a “road map” for correct
machine setup and operation.
The process control charts should be kept in this
manual or in a book close to the Orca. Use the machine
to encapsulate the popular charts so they can withstand
coffee spills and will be available for ready reference.
In the rest of this section you will find completed
process control charts for the basic operations of the
machine. These are based on Orca-Film and Orca-
Board and typical prints. If you have a special
application use the blank charts to make your own
records.

2. Procedure:
A. Lay the print on the board. Using a tack iron, tack
the leading edge of the print down onto the board so it
is held in place.
B. Put a piece of contact/release paper over the print.
Otherwise, adhesive will be applied to the laminating
roller which can cause damage and the ink from
electrostatic prints will be deposited on the roll.
C. Feed the print/Orca board package though the nip.
