In looking at the specifications for laminators lately I am seeing a lot of them that are not bi-directional. If your going to be laminating to large substrates you want a laminator the can be run bi-directional. It will make laminating and keeping everything straight to large substrates so much easier when you can start in the middle and go both ways.

Thanks, good t to narrow the search by. I am expanding onto a much larger building and have plenty of room to grow. Now to find out which one work. Thank goodness for you tube to be able to see some of these laminators in operation. Still need to make sure on quality. I see some on the sign warehouse site but ebay is full of them. Maybe a youtube can give more details.

+ 1 for Morph's installation suggestion.

That's the exact method we use over here, but we are typically installing graphics onto premade 47" x 95" wall panels (we do exhibit booths, primarily). So our walls are typically already standing when we go out to install, defeating the option of using the laminator. We also use 3M 40c with either 210 matte or 8510 laminate.
