Decoration and Lamination

In the field of decoration and overlay, digital media and traditional media share the market, and digital media is gradually playing an important role. The selected products are exclusively focused on inkjet printing. In addition, the box bag laminator is used with large format equipment to fully handle post-press requirements for color jobs. Although most of the materials for mounting and laminating are still the same, there are some well-known differences. Because we cannot mention all the products of each company, we only analyze some of the new and unique ones here. If there is any big development, it can be said that companies are trying to standardize the composition and duration of UV protection. Due to the lack of guidance on industry standards, this issue has caused intense debate. Maybe people feel that adopting a common standard in the industry to meet all the requirements is more appropriate, especially for users who are increasingly value-conscious, because these users want every service to be very long-lasting, even if it only costs one point. Money too! The advanced Creig laminator has a new type of AGL6450 Laminator. It is a one-time pass vinyl transfer heat-sensitive device, featuring pneumatic tension control, advanced hot-gripping rolling technology, and uses The supply spool has a roll-up and unwind function. This 6450 laminator can run for years without failure. AGL offers an industrial production line whose laminators are designed specifically for the production environment. They are characterized by the fact that, for the output of digital and photo media, single-fed paper can achieve continuous production output throughout the day. The company's other product lines are primarily aimed at digital imaging and have produced the Model 4400 digital image laminator, and can achieve stable tension control of pressure-sensitive and heat-sensitive jobs, both manually and by steam. Laminators can also be used as mounting machines, which can hold up to one inch of cardboard. The American flagship product The new Finisher 2700 wide laminator, available in desktop or floor-standing format, is suitable for inkjet printers in the 24-inch and smaller sizes. It is designed for double-sided thermal lamination of large-format images. Can fit and laminate half-inch thick cardboard at the same time. This thermal roller of the Finisher 2700 uses a unique hot-shoe technology that provides a fast 20-minute warm-up time for most applications. And there is a switch as a conversion control with or without heating. Like its larger family of equipment, the Models 4300 and 6300, this model uses a specially designed center clip to allow the film roll to be more easily handled and positioned from left to right. Other features include electronic heating control using liquid crystal display readings, powerful air cooling, adjustable cut paper, and 12-inch diameter roller film performance. The Models 4300 and 6300 were designed for large-format digital prints of the Novajet Pro-e 42, ColorSpan 42-inch DisplayMaker, and the CrystalJet 42-inch printers from the Encad Corporation. The Model 6300 can also be used with 62-inch DisplayMaker printers and other 62-inch inkjet printers. Coda The company's Cold-Mount System is a desktop-type device designed for pressure sensitive adhesives for pressure-sensitive adhesive, laminating, and adhesive coated paperboards.

Advanced adhesive dry-type bonding materials can be used to hold various images and materials at low temperatures. These adhesives are coated on paper and rollers with webs from 8*10 inches to 40.5*150 inches. Similarly, there are materials for acid-free formulations (sheet-fed and web) and transparencies (reel-only). Durotech The company offers a variety of special applications for mounting materials, including Duromount pressure-sensitive adhesive-bonded stencils, which are best used on winch lamination machines. The standard width of all available transparencies is from 55 inches to 150 or 300 feet. The second type consists of the Durosil silicone resin system, which is also recommended for this type of material. Durosil is mainly used for ordinary prints, transparent or opaque materials on glass surfaces, polypropylene films, polystyrene or carbonate surfaces to create the brightest, bubble-free effect and long lasting colorfastness. When multiple layers are laminated, DuroTech offers a variety of cold laminate films to protect the prints from UV, mechanical and chemical damage. These films include a polyester film with pressure-sensitive adhesive, pressure-sensitive polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride multilayer, leather-like polyvinyl chloride (which masks irregular features of dressing), and Epoxy-polycarbonate, scratch-resistant polyvinyl chloride film and light-proof film. There are also heat-sensitive mounting materials for old-fashioned stage printers and newer hot-shoe iron laminators. Two new GBC GBC models are the 64-inch wide Arctic Eagle 1600 and the Falon 64+.
