I'm using a fancy Unilam 1200 that has variable feedrate, so I can have the board crawl through at a slow pace. The better laminator made a huge difference, if you can replace the feed motor with something that you can slow down I suspect that would fix your issue. If the feed is too fast you don't get enough contact time for the PCB to heat up.
