Bindery Innovations At PRINT 09
GBC introduced the HeatSeal Sprint H950 automated desktop laminator, which doesn't require operator guidance, as well as the 640t wide-format roll laminator, which runs cold finishing jobs roll-to-roll at up to 16 fpm.
Cosmo Films, which now owns GBC Commercial, rolled out the 7580 laminating system for medium- and high-volume finishing environments. It is available with an automated in-line stacker. Also new was the 6300 laminator for one-sided finishing. It can laminate on-demand print runs of book covers, photo books, brochures, postcards and labels. Each system includes an automatic sheet feeder and separator. An adjustable feeder head provides precise feeding of every sheet while dual pneumatic nip pressure assures optimal bonding strength.
