Description
If you need a professional quality lamination for your smaller documents, and you're tired of spending a ton (and waiting for the job to finish) at your outsourcing supply shop, then the Royal Sovereign RSH-380SL may be a great fit for your business. This 15" tabletop laminator runs with four high-quality silicone rollers that offer consistent heat from edge to edge. Nine heat settings allow you to adjust the temperature to fit your specific application requirements. The speed is also adjustable with nine settings, and can run at up to a maximum of 14.8 feet per minute. This speed is unheard of in desktop design lamination machines, and sometimes even in larger format solutions.
The RSH-380SL expands it capabilities further by allowing for mounting boards up to 1/4" thick, single-side laminatation with a de-curling function, and accepting lamination films with either a 2.25" or 3" core with auto-grip hubs (it can even also accept 1" cores with an optional 1" core adapter). This array of features makes for a truly professional and versatile machine, making it ideal for businesses of all kinds that need to laminate standard-size documents up to fifteen inches wide.

1. These are the 2.25” adapters. What we need to do is take our wrench, loosen up the adapters by turning out these screws, and sliding this off. Next, we’ll put one of our adapters on to the 1” core.
2. Put it down. Take a roll of film. Make sure that it’s going to come off the film so the adhesive on the film which is inside the roll here is going to come over the roller here and not touch the roller, just the polyester on the outside. That locks into there. You take one through the other side. Slide it in.
3. And position it on the laminator. We’re also going to do the same thing on the bottom.
4. Okay, now we need to web the laminator. First we take off the feed table.
5. We’re going to take our film. Go underneath the idler bar. Take the safety cover, bring the film underneath, pull it out, and bring it over the two rollers.
6.Now that we have the laminator on, it’s activating the film and the adhesive is melting. We’re going to take our bottom roll of film. It needs to go underneath the bottom idler.
7. You want to make sure that our two rolls are lined up with each other. And then we’re going to take our film and fuse it to the top roll.
8. Now we’re going to take our table, put it back in. Drop our safety cover. We want to make sure that our laminator right now is in the open, the rollers are open. We want to bring it to the lamination mode so the two rollers are together.
9. And take our leader board, hit run on the laminator and we’re going to pull the film through the laminator. Make sure it goes between the two rollers in the back and out the other side.
10. And trim the film off.
Now you’re ready to laminate.The film that we’re running today, we’re going to be running 230 degrees at speed 3. We’re going to depress the run button so our film runs through the laminator. We’re going to take our images and feed them into the laminator. Once our prints are through, we’ll hit the stop button and we can remove our documents by taking our rear blade and cutting the material off.
