Automatic Laminator Recommendations

[jfunkplaea]

We've got two Fujipla ALM3222s that we've had in service for several years and our supplier is saying they can't service them anymore due to parts availability. It looks like the direct replacement is the HLA-2301, but given that we only do 1.5mil film on <220gsm stock, I think we might be okay going with the HLA-2501 which seems to be quite a bit cheaper. Anyone have any experience with either of these or any comparable alternatives?

We bought the HLA-2501 about a year ago and it's been a great unit for us! We were debating between the 2501 and 2301 as well, but looked at the jobs we needed to do and it fit the bill. Even though it says a max of 80lb cover, we've done heavier without issue (100# cover, even tried 12 and 14pt C2S)
