Ledco Signmaster Laminator Review

Have you been looking for a wide-format roll laminator? If so, the Ledco Signmaster just might be the right machine for your needs. We recently tried out this laminator so we could determine what its strengths and weaknesses are. Here is what we discovered:

Strengths:

• The Signmaster is a wide-format laminator and it can handle materials that are up to 44" wide. This device would be a good choice if you want or need to laminate large items such as blueprints, flow charts, signs, and so on.
• This machine is compatible with laminating film that's up to 10 mil thick. Due to this, you'll be able to give your documents and materials an excellent amount of protection. The rolls of laminating film you use can have a 3-inch core so it should be pretty easy to find the right supplies. You can also use mounting boards with this device and do one-sided laminator. All in all, this is a really durable machine.
• The Signmaster operates very quickly so you can get your work done in very little time. It's capable of laminating up to 25 feet of material in one minute. This would be a great machine to have around if you regularly need to crank out a lot of work under tight deadlines.
• Using this machine is very safe because it's equipped with a safety shield. There's also two stop buttons on both sides of the machines so you can easily stop the laminator in case of an emergency.
• The Signmaster is very durable and it's backed by a terrific 2-year warranty. Also, it's made in the United States so you can feel good about supporting an American company.

Weaknesses:

• Since this is a wide-format laminator, it's quite large. Its dimensions are 64" (width) x 51" (height) x 34" (depth) so you should measure your work area to ensure that it will fit in it. This machine is also extremely heavy: it weighs 550 pounds. Thus, you'll want to choose a good spot for it so you won't need to move it around very much. (If at all.)
• The Signmaster is partially operated by a foot pedal. This might be a bit awkward if you've never used a foot pedal before but you'll probably be able to get the hang of it pretty quickly.

Overall, we recommend the Ledco Signmaster and think it's a terrific wide-format roll laminator. This machine will help you get your work done quickly and it's incredibly versatile since it can laminate, work with mounting boards, and so on. Since this machine can handle items that are up to 44" wide, you'll have no trouble laminating your large items. Thanks to the safety shield and stop buttons, this device is very safe to use so you can probably laminate without any problems. We love the fact that this device is American-made and that it comes with a good warranty. Although the machine has a couple of weaknesses, don't let that deter you. The Signmaster is really great.
