easymount 1400 cold additional heater
Hi guys. Im just doing a deal on a new easymount 1400 cold lam. An extra which they are trying to sell me is some sort of heater (but not a heater) for the top roller. Supposedly it makes it slightly warmer which improves silvering massively and is a must have.
Actually spoke to someone who has exactly the same setup and he also said its a must have for a few hundred extra but didnt go into too much detail. Has anyone got this setup and can shed some light on it? -

We run everything through hot on our mounters mate and yes it does make a difference. A noticeable difference.

I’ve got the 1600mm SH which is just hot on the top roller like they are offering and honestly have only used the hot a handful of times so would not bother with it if we went that direction again though.
It can help the silvering a little yes I agree with that but again depending on what print your using and how quickly your turning around, silvering can go quite quickly anyway. It also makes a difference how warm your setup is there is no point in putting through hot in your freezing garage because the media needs to be kept at a room temperature as well or this will also make a difference.
If cost is minimal then I guess it would improve second hand value if you don’t use it to much.

Like Kevin, we’ve been using ours a few years and never use the heater. Anytime I have it always been really difficult to slice the backing paper as the glue is more aggressive .
