Wide format laminate offers ‘whiter whites’
New wide format laminators take centre stage on GBC’s stand
GBC will be using Fespa to showcase its new digital print laminators and announce an expanded customer service and support program. New products include the entry-level 1064WFt and 2064WF for semi-professionals. New wide format films and consumables will also be launched.
The 1064WFt wide format cold laminating machine offers lamination up to 1,570mm. A top-heated roller (up to 5°C) reduces initial silvering to ensure a more consistent output-quality. This laminator is designed to offer quality, cost effective lamination for the signage, photographic, copy shop and screen print market. It suits print-for-pay companies and service providers looking for an entry-level professional machine. The machine is designed to work alongside wide format inkjet printers.
The 2064WF is designed as a versatile wide-format laminating machine offering quality and speed up to 5m/min in both directions. It suits trade show graphics, PoP displays, flexible or rigid displays, backlit displays, vehicle graphics, floor graphics, posters and banners. Handling of numerous applications is ensured through multiple winds and unwinds, plus bi-directional capability.
Features include swing-out shafts with auto-grip core chucks to facilitate loading and unloading. A food pedal offers hands-free operation, while silicone rollers ease cleaning. Digital display for pressure, temperature and film footage aids production control.
The 2064WF provides maximum results when paired with GBC's newest films, the Octiva LM textured satin 75/250µm, Octiva LMLB 85µm for POS-displays and Octiva LM Canvas 200µm for portrait graphics. Octiva Lo-Melt thermal laminating film contains light management additives to enhance laminated prints. GBC thermal films are formulated with Prelume technology, delivering the capability to whiten and brighten most prints without beaches or optical brighteners. Prelume controls the amount and distribution of ambient light reflected back to the viewer throughout the visible colour spectrum, yielding ‘whiter whites’. The effect is most dramatic under short wavelengths or high-energy light sources, such as the metal halide lamps used in trade show halls and cool white or daylight fluorescent bulbs used in offices.
