Have you compared the cost difference between hot and cold film?
500 feet of hot film likely about 50 bucks for a pair of rolls 25 inches wide
the same amount of cold film is probably $270.00 to $300.00 bucks or more
I service roll laminators all over the western pennsylvania area. While it would be easy to disconnect the 4250s heaters it wouldnt work:( Cold machines depend on much more roll pressure than hot machines.
so you will have to buy a new cold machine......
One day I arrived at a customer and the principal and a guy I didnt know, a salesman were in the teachers room.
Hi I am here o fix the machine:) the sales guy said the district is buying all cold machines they wouldnt need you anymore. After a quick discussion on film price I repaired the machine and left...
The principal called later and thanked me for sharing the cost difference.
the district bought one cold machine for a banner maker that couldnt use hot film lamination. that was 5 years ago.
plus hot machines drive the moisture out of the items as they are laminated and tend to look better
If anyone cares to call me feel free phone ech support is al;ways FREE
