Hi mate, long time no see !!
We’ve been toying with the idea of getting something like this. Either this or the Mounters Mate.
What’s it like, any good ? -
Hi Adrian
Hope your good mate how was your holiday hope you got through all the ann summers email now lol
We are impressed with the Rollsroller you are always welcome to pop in for a cuppa you could even bring a job and try it for yourself.
We did look at all the other makes but felt this was the best for us, we needed the 2m wide option for some of our large panels we produce.

Holiday was brilliant thanks, and I’ve managed to sort the pile of emails !! haha.
Cheers for the offer, I might just take you up on that. I’ll see what prices Spandex offer and if we don’t faint then having a look at one running would be great.

We bought a lamidesk some months back. Opted for it because of the fully automated foot pedal operation. Love it. Saves hours off our working week. Will pay for itself in first year easily

James Sahota posted a review on UKSB for flatbed applicators not long ago, see it pasted below.
* Rolls Roller
After making initial contact with us via facebook, didn’t bother to get us a quote back or anything must really be busy over there, not hungry enough to close a deal.
* Roll Over
Was our number one choice but supplier just couldn’t get to the price point we wanted
* Mounter Mater (Not heard to much on this one – Website is also not working)
Very proactive with emails etc, gave us a good price point as well.
* Bubble Free Applicators (Josero – Again no contact from these guys yet) * Machine looks great
After initially nothing from them, Steve called me from SignUK and gave me all the details about the machine, we went to see him a couple of days later, took a live job with us, 5 sheets of full size printed foamex, quick demo and 20 mins later our production guy was laminating these himself.
Great looking kit, had a deal with Steve on the day, its a small purchase for us in the grand scheme of things but I must say the service was better then some of the suppliers we have spent hundreds of thousands with. Top marks to the team at Josero. They even gave us the option of having the table painted in our own company colours but as we wanted the machine ASAP we settled for one in the standard colour….Order placed on 28th of April machine being installed on the 9th….Pretty good turnaround if you ask me. Oh and to add 5 years warranty as well….
* Monster (Radecal) concerned that this looks like a cheap Chinese import – No offence
Great price point at 2k cheaper then everyone else, just felt the machine didn’t look solid enough.
* CWT from Papergraphics (* Most expensive of the bunch)
Quote sent, no follow up whats so ever after that.
I’ve always been very hungry when it comes to business and closing deals, I was shocked at how laid back some suppliers are and not really looking to close any serious deals. The larger firms just didn’t care, I guess its the whole employee scenario where there just see it as a job, where as the smaller firms which are owner run companies really went the extra mile, so well done to them.

I did read James review we found Rollsroller to be very efficient in responding to our initial enquiry sending our details to William Smith who then contacted us directly. We looked at all the other options as there is now a lot of other manufactures that make very similar machines.
We ended up purchasing the Rollsroller 540/220 as we needed the extra width not all the other manufactures make a 2m wide flatbed applicator. We purchased our Rollsroller from Spandex and can not fault them on service and in the short time we have had it we are seeing huge time savings, it’s a very easy machine to use and we can train new staff members to use it in a matter of minutes and they are getting perfect results. The installation or our Rollsroller has allowed us to reduce our turnaround times without any loss in quality which is a big bonus for our trade only resellers that are always on a tight deadline to get the job to their clients.

We purchased our Rollsroller via William Smiths. bed size is "approx" 1700mm x 5500mm long.
use it daily, speeds up application no end and improves the finish and consistency of the finish on anything we put out.
William Smiths were great with us from start to finish of purchase through to instalment. had it for about 6 years now i think and it is as good as the day we bought it. (other than the cutting matt) :smiles:
