SEAL Graphics introduces two all-new film laminators

Tuesday 01. April 2008 - Printers and finishing houses seeking to introduce, update or enhance their lami-nating equipment would do well to look at the all-new models 44 Ultra Plus and 62 Ultra Plus from SEAL Graphics.

Due to their ease-of-use, both are described as entry-level machines suitable for first-time users but the level of specification and sophistication means they will be equally at home in more volume oriented environments.

The SEAL 44 Ultra Plus is capable of mounting, laminating and encapsulating digi-tally and photographically produced graphics up to 1115mm (44ins) wide; while the 62 Ultra Plus will take widths up to 1550mm (61ins). The inclusion of a powered rewind station means the Ultra Plus machines now handle pressure sensitive ma-terials with ease.
Both are capable of handling substrates up to 12.5mm thick at speeds of 2.13m/minute. Each incorporates top and bottom heated rollers (switchable to top-heat only if required) with three temperature settings to suit different films and ad-hesives.
These new models incorporate a foot control for hands-free operation and precise media/substrate feed and – due to its ability to handle wider, heavier materials – the
62 Ultra Plus also has a roll capture mechanism for ease of consumable handling.
With their compact design, these laminators will find favour in even the most re-stricted spaces and provide a solution to an almost infinite range of finished appli-cations.
