laminator

I recently went from a 30" setup to a 55" and am in need of a laminator. Does anyone have one for sale or have recommendations on Brand / Model that has worked good for them? I am between a GFP and a Seal but haven't ruled out Royal Sovereign Ledco or GBC. The model I would like to find used is...

Hi! This is a REALLY silly question, but I wanted to know what tool you use if you need to score the backing paper ONLY on a roll of laminate. I've tried using xacto blades (dull and sharp) and I can't get it to come off of the laminate cleanly. It's also tough not to cut the laminate as well as...

Our little shop recently got a great deal on this cold laminator. It has two tension knobs and a take-up system. The only problem is that it is apparently only known by one store on the entire planet -- Pacific Coast Sign Supply in Portland, OR. The gentleman who sold it to us said he bought...

Hi, We are new to the business of face mounting images to acrylic. We are doing as small as 5x7-30x30 on 3/4" and as large as 24x40 to 30x90" on 1/4" optix. We are using a Diage 38" right now... totally have dust under control at this point but still seem to get bubbles. The bigger the print...

Greetings! We're brand new to the industry & are seeking recommendations for finishing of large format prints. We have never owned or even operated a laminator & don't want to attend a vocational school to master it. We'll be seeking out a wide format laminator capable of 60" or wider &...

We are considering buying a laminator to apply reflctive vinyl onto 5mm coroplast in 4' x 8' sheets...single-sided. Having never used one, will this work? Is the UStech brand a good one to buy for this? Thanks in advance for your input!!

I posted earlier about the issues we're experiencing with our laminator. If I'm laminating something and have 'hand tight' tension on the take-up reel tension knob, if I grab the roll while it's moving, should it stop with very little pressure, or should it be more difficult the harder the...

I need some advice on setting up and running a 55" Drytac cold laminator. We have no problem with webbing the laminate, but for some reason when we're runnning material, the point where the backing separates from the laminate, gets 'sucked' under the rollers, along with the print, as we're...

Hello all! We're attempting to use our enduralam for the first time, and documentation is... lacking. Does anyone have one and could provide a few tips? I've read up on the threads here about tensioning and trial/error, but I can't get the laminate fed into the machine without it bunching up...

Anyone know where I can find a used 60" uv liguid laminator such as the one offered by Neschen or drytec? Any help is appreciated... rick

I've had my laminator for probably 4 years now and purchases it as a display model from my dealer. It has always kind of had this issue but I think its getting a little worse and was wondering if anyone has had similar issues or have any advice. The issue is that on some large format pieces...

HI, I'm in the market for a laminator to go with the VP540 I just ordered. Money is definitely an issue so I'm looking for something I can afford but won't regret the minute I open the box. I really don't want to spend $7000 if I can help it. Any suggestions on a good entry-level laminator...

HI Everyone, Hopefully I'm doing this in the right place. I'm relatively new to the sign & graphix business. Up to this point I have been outsourcing my printing and now I'm getting ready to order my own equipment. I use Illustrator CS3 for my design & have mostly been doing vinyl...
