ORCA-IV Image Transfer Laminator Operation Manual

The ORCA IV image transfer laminator is capable of
processing a wide range of pressure sensitive and ther-
mal laminates onto an equally wide range of image
materials. The primary considerations are:
• Laminate adhesives are compatible with image
materials.
• The materials properly activate below the maxi-
mum roll temperature and within the speed and roll
nip pressure ranges available on the laminator.
It is the operator’s responsibility to ensure the compati-
bility and operational settings for any laminates/image
material combination. GBC Pro-Tech Technical Sup-
port is available at the number provided in the Mainte-
nance chapter for advice on some material
combinations.
This machine is designed to do transfer using complete
systems provided by companies such as GBC Pro-
Tech, 3M, or Rexam. This system includes the paper,
inks, vinyl and overlaminate films specifically matched
to offer excellent performance. Some vinyl materials
offered by other companies will emit chemicals that
will cause permanent damage to the rolls.
IMPORTANT
It is the operator’s responsibility to ensure compatibil-
ity and operational settings for the transfer process.
Consult your transfer system supplier to ensure the cor-
rect combinations of materials are being used.

1. Turn the thumbscrew on the slitter counterclock-
wise until it stops.
Figure 3-9: Slitter
2. Turn the thumbscrew one turn clockwise.
3. Set the slitter blade against the plastic covered
black roll.
4. Engage the slitter against the tube by allowing the
slitter to just touch the tube and then pressing it
1/16" further.
☞
Note:
Setting the slitter to tight shortens the life of the blade
and the plastic tube.
5. Pull the material through the machine to test the
slitter. Adjust the thumbscrew to obtain the
required results.

• Always cut the leading edge of a print straight so it
can be fed perpendicular to the rolls.
• The paper must be trimmed to match the width of
the vinyl.
• The paper will wrinkle if it extends more than 1/2"
beyond the vinyl edge.
• The trim can be neatly collected by threading it
behind the imaged transfer media roll and taping it
to the used transfer media core just to the outside of
the trimmed transfer media. The diameter of the
collected trim must be kept the same as the diame-
ter of the winding transfer media to obtain a good
quality windup.
• When trimming the final product, the trim can be
wound on the same core just outside of the edge of
the roll.
Substituting materials can cause severe damage
to your machine and is not recommended or
covered under our warranty.
