Wide, Wider, Widest Laminating

Interestingly, Knutson, of Hunt, recommends training before buying a laminator, and he recommends using independent training companies.

"Find out what other printers are using and what they like or dislike about their laminators," advises Knutson. "If you're just getting into the wide-format business, take a training course ahead of time. There are several independent training companies, where you can learn how to use materials, work on a few different machines, and get the feel of how things flow."
