Print finishing buyer guides
Which finishing workflow?
Compare roll-fed protection, rigid-board mounting and packaging processes before discussing a system. Start with the job, then check the materials and production space.
Two practical guides
Laminator or flatbed applicator?
Understand where roll-fed lamination, board application and a combined system differ.
Before installing Easymount Hybrid.
Prepare material, table configuration, utility and access details for a useful enquiry.
Workflow finder
What do you need to finish?
Choose the work that best describes your enquiry. Your selection is not saved or sent.
Choose a workflow for a suitable starting point, or compare all four below.
A starting point for a conversation, not an automated fit guarantee, quote or statement of availability. Confirm the material and configuration with sales.
Compare the four workflows
- Roll-fed graphics
Easymount Sign and Easymount Air are starting points for protecting printed roll media. Compare working width, roller pressure and the film's temperature requirements. Cold, heat-assist and higher-temperature lamination are not interchangeable.
- Rigid board mounting
Use a flatbed applicator to align adhesive graphics and mount prints to rigid board. It applies material to a substrate; it is not a digital cutting table. Easymount Flow is a support-table accessory, not a laminator or an equivalent application system.
- Both rolls + boards
Hybrid combines roll-fed lamination with flatbed application on one modular platform. Compare your roll runs, board sizes and changeover pattern before choosing a table configuration. Published working limits are a reference, not confirmation that a particular material will run successfully.
- Packaging / decorative
Matrix supports lamination, digital foiling and decorative effects. VeloTaper automates double-sided taping alongside cutting and creasing on compatible VeloBlade Volta+ systems. Zip Core Design is packaging CAD/CAM software, not a laminator. These are different production steps, not substitutes for a board applicator.
Put the job in context
Bring the materials, not just the model name.
Tell sales what you print, what you need to apply and how the work moves through your shop.
