Christmas came early this year. (it's here, it's here!)

Got our new Royal Sovereign 1401c laminator in last Wednesday. Man, that box was HEAVY. We don't have a loading dock, just a regular sized exterior door.. so we had to improvise a little. We went all Egyptian on it and made a ramp, and pushed it into the shop using a long prybar and some elbow grease. It's all together today, and waiting on the first set of prints to come off of the printer today to laminate. It's a big upgrade from our Daige solo.

I was torn between the Seal 54 el, and this one, but went with the RS for the take up feature... My shop space is SMALL, and the ability to roll prints up as they come off sealed the deal.

I will be posting some pics and my impressions going from a Daige to something a little nicer later.

We are going to keep the daige to mount prints, i think it will do a good job on that, but a little peace of mind when laminating IJ180 is gonna be nice.

They also included an ancient roll of laminate that is so brittle, you cant feed it through the rollers -

At first I liked how the Seal looked, until one of the guys mentioned it looked like something out of star trek.
