Orange peel on a photo laminate
Orange peel on a photo laminate is a fine texture in the surface. The adhesive did not flow, the pressure was light, or the film was run too cool for that gauge.
Checks
- Compare with a known-good sample of the same film. Some matte and textured films look like orange peel on purpose.
- Raise dwell or pressure in small steps. A glossy film that stays textured was usually under-activated.
- A thick pouch on a light setting will not flow at the adhesive. Match the setting to the gauge.
- If the texture is only at the edges, pressure is uneven. Check the rollers before you change film.
