This makes it a natural fit for large signage, vehicle wraps, wall graphics, and oversized posters. Many print shops today are scaling up to wide-format production, and a laminator like the LA-160W allows you to meet that demand without limitations. Whether you’re laminating a single oversized banner or producing dozens of smaller pieces, the 63-inch capacity ensures maximum flexibility.Heat-Assisted Rollers for Flawless ResultsTraditional cold laminators can sometimes struggle with certain media, especially UV prints or textured substrates. The heat-assisted rollers on the Mimaki LA-160W solve this issue by slightly warming the adhesive film, helping it bond more effectively to the print surface. This process reduces problems like silvering, bubbling, or incomplete adhesion. The end result is smooth, flawless lamination that not only looks professional but also improves the durability and longevity of your graphics.By combining pressure and controlled heat, the LA-160W enhances image vibrancy and provides a crystal-clear protective layer. Whether your customers need indoor graphics with a glossy finish or outdoor signage with durable matte protection, this machine delivers.Designed to Pair with Mimaki PrintersMimaki designed the LA-160W Heat Assisted Laminator as the perfect finishing companion to its wide-format printers.
