Abstract: A laminator for laminating thermal film and paper has an upper support bracket that operably mounts an upper roller, the upper roller having a plurality of grooves axially spaced along the upper roller, and an upper paper guide having a roller-receiving channel shaped to receive the upper roller at least partially therethrough. An upper plate is mounted on the upper paper guide over the roller-receiving channel, the upper plate having a plurality of plate apertures spaced by connecting ribs, the connecting ribs being sized and positioned along the axial direction of the upper roller to each fit within one of the plurality of grooves of the upper roller. The laminator further has a lower support bracket that operably mounts a lower roller.
