AGL, in the $20-30k range depending on the model. Hands down the best no questions asked, nothing else compares.

Down to earth affordable? Seal pro, $15-18k or Seal Base in the $10k range.

I'm a big fan of Seal however do to budget, I got the Royal Sovereign 55". It's surprisingly a pretty good machine. I guess you have to ask yourself, how much lamming are going to be doing and is it worth spending the extra money.

Well, My Daige solo is fixed now, and working okay, but I really want a Seal. I will likely finance one through a supplier next year and keep the Daige to mount stuff.

CHA88, How busy are you? LOL -- you might be better off upgrading.

Craig, you already know the issues I have with lamination so if you think it is good, be honest. Will it work for me or will I be sorry.
I was thinking of putting it upstairs in the mezzanine area and ripping apart one of the 8' tables there. I will be honest, I am not jumping into anything to fast this time. I need to research this properly.

anyone here have a seal 600d? your thoughts?

I'm partial to the Seal laminators. Not just as a dealer, but as a user also. When I came on board with TyrrellTech, a LOT of people got on me about the Daige and we switched them over. Many happy people. It's just so much easier to use.

I'm not saying the Daige is a bad product but at the same time, when you look at all the other prices ranges of the 55" Laminators and in comes this one for HALF the cost, it normally makes you wonder.

I think with Laminator preferences it's a total toss up. Some people will read my post praising the Seal and say "F That I hate that machine" while others will say the same about the Daige..There's a machine out there for everyone!

had my Seal 54 since I started printing 6years ago and never a single problem... think we bought it for ~$3k, new. Cold laminator but has a heater which assists in silvering reduction (any that i've had has always come out with a heat gun when I apply my graphics), simple, and easy to use.

The best laminator, or the best bang-for-the buck laminator?

I dont think there is such a beast.
I want a reliable easy to use one man laminator that will laminate vinyl graphics trouble free.
That seal unit looks awesome but maybe it is a little more than I would need and I am concerned as to why the owner wants rid of it.
