Im in need help finding the right laminator for my signs project. I planning to purchase fat bed applicator but dont have funds yet. So I searched in craigslist and I found a laminator machine roller. Its not a falt bed but would like to get feedback if this will work for my projects like 24" artwork. I am posting the laminator and the project I was working on.

So my final question will this laminator machine will work on putting application tape for my vinyl signs?

Get the GFP 54" with top heat assist.
Add the rear take up roll option.

Later on you can add the rear slitters.

You will be $10k into it, but the GFP is probably the best laminator for the price
range in the industry.

Also you want a laminator that is easy to adjust the top roller, as this will need to
be done or checked once or twice a year to keep it tracking perfectly.

You might consider pneumatic laminators, for even pressure across the rollers.
There are a few companies that make them in the $10k price.

What are the best pneumatic laminators brand out there. I looked at CWT Rollovers etc, theyre just way too expensive for me. Also when using laminator do I really need to use the heat? Im only using it for vinyl for application tape.
