    I am going to the sign show with a view to replacing my existing easymount 880c with a larger and hopefully better machine.
    Anything in particular to look for? I am after a machine to laminate and mount vinyl onto boards etc but as simple to operate as possible!! Thanks

    Hi Nick, we have a Mounters mate laminator that we bought a while back and it’s been brilliant. It’s a single hot roller but we only ever use it for 5 mins to take the chill off it if we use in the morning. They are at sign & digital so def stop by and see Omar as he will give you all the details and a demo.

    We use to vinyl panels with it before we bought a flatbed applicator, it takes a couple of mins to strip the machine down but always done it well. I’d suggest a feeder/receiver bench if you plan on doing it often. Hope this helps

    I second David’s suggestion on a cost effective all rounder… Mounters Mate Laminator.
    Omars a real nice guy too, very informative and helpful.
