Matrix 370P - Laminator

[Alphapressfl]

Hey Guys. Wanted to see what you guys thought of the matrix 370p?

I am currently looking at one, but no nothing of this brand. Any comments, thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!

We have the 370DP (duplex) version with Omniflow deep pile feeder. Ensure you do get a ‘P’ version as opposed to the original 370 or 530 - the pneumatics were a game changer. We do a lot of full bleed work with heavy toner coverage, so don’t tend to run it above 2.5metres/minute and always opt for the more expensive digital film to minimise risk of delamination. Placement is important too, if you can site the machine in your shop so you can walk around both sides, this makes for much easier operation and adjustments. Labelling the three dials as per the manual is useful. It’s a good bit of kit and nicely priced. Unless you have the budget, 3 phase power and space for a D&K, then definitely get the Matrix pneumatic. The Omniflow feeder is a rebadged Multigraf and again a good piece of kit, get this if you’re doing any regular volumes.

I have the 370p and am very happy with it. I had a GMP before and it wasn't a good experience for me...
The Matrix does the job very well and is easy to learn and operate. If you are ok with manual feeding, this is the best one in my opinion.
If you want automatic feeding and have the budget for it, go with Komfi or D&K.
