Can you use any laminator with sleeking foils?

[Lukek]

Hi all,

Just a quick one we have 2 d&k lamintors at work and were thinking about using sleeking films for our short run digital finishing. Is this possible to use with a normal lamintor or is there certain features it will require to use sleeking film?

Thanks in advance.

You'd need a take up reel.

Watch a few YouTube vids and you'll probably be able to tell if yours will work.

"Sleeking" is a 2015 registered trademark (TM) name from GMP in Korea for foil fusion, usually onto laser toner.

Pippip is correct. You need a motor controlled take up mechanism (mandrel and motor) and you can use your heated laminators to apply the foils. You do need foils designed for this though as standard "graphics" foils will transfer to the whole sheet. If you have more questions about the foils please allow me to assist.

I have a small business. Which type of laminators do you have? Can you suggest me one? Because I found only this article about laminators webproductradar.com/best-laminator-for-small-business
