MikeMan 0 Posted September 18, 2009 Please excuse my ignorance, but would this laminator work OK for laminating wrap vinyl? I really don't know anything about laminators and the prices seem to be all over the map. I'm hoping to land a used ValueJet 1204 shortly and I know I'll need a cold laminator for wrapping, but don't know why some cost so much more than others. If anybody has some advice on the most bang for the buck I would be grateful.

ff-extreme 6 Posted September 18, 2009 I would be careful buying one on ebay. I love mine it's a seal bought it from a supplier in NJ. I have heard of people getting new laminators and having bad rollers. The company replaced them for free as they should but i dont know if i would trust someone on ebay to do that. I know there are good people on ebay but i would feel safer going with a brand name / known company for a large purchase. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James605 7 Posted September 18, 2009 If you can budget a nice one go for it, you wont be dissapointed. SEAL is the baddest thing around. I think they go for around 7K(ff extreme knows about these ones) Royal soverign. not sure of the spelling but google it. they are good too if you only have a couple thousand maybe try a daige quickmount... If you only have a couple hundred dollars. buy a big squeegee<<<---one of the best items i have ever bought Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikeMan 0 Posted September 18, 2009 Thanks everybody for the advice! I'm budgeting about 2K for a laminator that can handle at least 48". I'm not opposed to a used one either. I'm really extending myself to get the printer and hoping I can sub out the lamination on first few jobs. Again thank-you! This forum rocks. Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikeMan 0 Posted December 26, 2009 I just ordered a 55" Daige Solo last night... I'll let everybody know how it works out. Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
