Infrared Heating Roll To Roll Laminator 220V / 110V Large Format Laminator

While banners and posters are the bread and butter of large format printing, a high-speed, industrial machine like the MF1700-F1 PLUS is a powerhouse capable of handling far more complex, higher-margin applications. The precision of the 130mm premium silicon rollers and the 50m/min speed transform your production capability, allowing you to venture into specialized markets that demand ultimate durability and a flawless finish.

Here are five high-value, demanding applications where the continuous, roll-to-roll efficiency of your laminator truly pays off:

Floor graphics are one of the most abrasive environments for any print. They require specialized, textured, anti-slip overlaminates to comply with safety standards (e.g., UL 410 or R10 ratings) while resisting foot traffic, spills, and cleaning chemicals.

• MF1700-F1 PLUS Advantage: The precise, uniform pressure from the large 130mm silicon rollers is critical for bonding thick, textured anti-slip films without bubbles or silvering. This application demands flawless encapsulation to ensure the graphic lies perfectly flat and maintains its structural integrity, preventing peeling that could create a tripping hazard. By running these materials at 50m/min, you dramatically cut the production time for large retail spaces, airports, and event venues, delivering high-value, safety-certified products faster.

Vehicle wraps, whether for a single box truck or an entire commercial fleet, require superior lamination to protect the vibrant print from UV exposure, road debris, frequent washing, and temperature fluctuations. Architectural wraps for buildings and walls have similar demanding environmental needs.

• MF1700-F1 PLUS Advantage: The laminator's ability to handle long, continuous rolls seamlessly is essential for wrapping large vehicles or building facades. Lamination with a high-quality UV-blocking vinyl overlaminate ensures the graphics do not fade or crack. The Swing-in & Out Air Shafts allow for quick changeovers between printing vinyl and the protective laminate film rolls, minimizing setup time on these lengthy, high-stakes jobs where material costs and flawless execution are paramount.

Backlit displays—like those seen in airports, cinemas, or retail lightboxes—demand optically clear, bubble-free lamination. Any imperfection is amplified when light shines through the graphic, making this a zero-tolerance application. Furthermore, many materials for lightboxes are more sensitive to heat.

• MF1700-F1 PLUS Advantage: This application directly benefits from the machine's overall stability and precision. The Smart ENTRY system and consistent heat control allow for smooth processing of delicate backlit films, eliminating the streaking and hazing that plague lower-grade machines. The controlled, high-speed DC motor ensures an even feed throughout the entire length of the graphic, delivering a perfectly uniform, professional appearance when illuminated.

Many display graphics are mounted onto rigid substrates like foam board, Gatorboard, or aluminum composite panels. An industrial laminator often acts as a cold press for simultaneously applying the print to the board and applying a protective overlaminate in a single, efficient pass.

• MF1700-F1 PLUS Advantage: While roll-to-roll, this unit's capability to provide the high-force nip pressure required for board mounting is a significant value driver. The wide format capacity accommodates oversized display panels used in trade show booths, museums, and permanent retail fixtures. The Lamination Records on the control panel are invaluable here, storing the exact pressure and speed settings needed for various board thicknesses, ensuring a rock-solid, permanent bond that prevents bowing or bubbling.

While this unit is an F1 (single-sided), the underlying system and its heavy-duty components make it ideal for preparing continuous rolls of material for subsequent double-sided processes or high-volume finishing. Applications like durable menus, maps, and high-end POS (Point-of-Sale) materials require robust encapsulation.

• MF1700-F1 PLUS Advantage: For jobs that involve single-sided lamination followed by other processes (e.g., cutting, grommeting), the 50m/min speed ensures the first stage is completed quickly. For double-sided jobs run on two passes, the precision air shafts and quick material swaps minimize the labor time between passes. The result is a roll of perfectly laminated material, ready for the final cutting or finishing line, enabling your business to offer ultra-durable, premium printed collateral that commands a higher price point.

The MF1700-F1 PLUS is engineered for versatility. Its speed, precision roller system, and smart digital controls empower your business to move beyond standard poster lamination and capture the most technically challenging and lucrative segments of the large format market.
