Frequently Asked Questions - Academy+ GBC
What type of documents can I laminate with the GBC Academy+?
You can laminate documents up to A4 size using standard laminating pouches up to 125 microns thick.
How long does the GBC Academy+ take to warm up?
The warm-up time is approximately 3 minutes. The ready indicator light will illuminate when it is ready to use.
Can I use laminating pouches of any thickness?
We recommend using pouches up to 125 microns for best results. Thicker pouches may cause jams or poor bonding.
What is the cold lamination mode used for?
Cold lamination is ideal for heat-sensitive materials such as photographs, artwork, or glossy prints that might be damaged by heat.
What should I do if the laminator jams?
Turn off the machine, unplug it, and gently pull the pouch out. Use the anti-jam release if available. Do not use sharp tools.
How do I clean the rollers of the Academy+?
Once cooled, insert a cleaning card through the feed slot. Alternatively, wipe the rollers with a soft, damp cloth after removing the pouch residue.
Is there an automatic shut-off feature?
Yes, the laminator includes overheat protection and auto shut-off to ensure safety during operation.
Can I laminate irregular or thick items?
The machine is designed for flat documents up to A4. Avoid laminating items heavier than 250 g/m² to prevent jams.
Why is the pouch not sticking to the document?
Ensure the machine is fully warmed up and that the pouch is of the correct thickness. Also, run the pouch through slowly, allowing the rollers to apply even pressure.
Where can I find replacement rollers or spare parts?
Replacement parts are available through GBC authorized service centers. Contact GBC customer support for the nearest center.
