Possible that the laminator is not hot enough or does not have enough
pressure. 10 times is a bit more than I use, I do 8x. Make sure that
your laser printer is set to maximum density.
Also make sure that the green film is run through multiple times at
the highest pressure and temperature. If you remove the film and
∗any∗ green remains in the clear areas, you have not heated the board
enough. I actually use two laminators, one high temperature, one
higher pressure. Not ideal, but it seems to work.
