laminator question

[bella]

I have the change to buy a laminator, it will laminate up to A0. The seller has advised me that the element is not working. He said he had an engineer check it over. I'm just wondering if the element is expensive to replace, does anyone know. xxxx
Thanks

in short. yes. most heating elements are expensive and tricky to put in. a 62" one for a seal is well over 400 just for the element, but thats in the US.

that being said, if you aren't using heat-sensitive materials, you can use pressure sensitive all day long. if its worth it for you to have a cold-lam / mounter, go for it.

When you say sensitive what exactly do you mean? I was intending to laminate posters, are you saying I do not need to use heat to laminate posters?
Thanks in advance x

To laminate both sides of a poster (or encapsulate it) yes you will need hot laminate. cold laminate is mostly applied to vinyls and other materials where the back does not need any lamination. pressure-sensitive is the same as cold laminate.
