I am looking at getting a cold roller press to take over the bulk of the mounting jobs my Seal Vacuum heat press now performs. I have looked at the Drytac presses both at shows and on-line and heave heard on the G about the Daige presses and checked out their web site, but would like some feedback from users of the machines.
Thanks.
 
We recently installed a 60" wide machine, heat assisted up to 140°F. I suggest keeping clear of fully heated machines as they are a different kettle of fish and are "overkill" for most framing tasks.

Without looking I think mine was a "Nechen(?) Polar 1600HR". For me the most important factors were replacements parts and thickness of materials it could handle. Also taken into consideration were the automated feed and cut-off if any obstructions entered the rollers, manual foot control and safety override switches.

It appears they do not take much space, however this is deceptive as it rekwires a full sheet gap with room to work both in front and behind the machine.
 
I forgot to add, if you kicked yourself for holding out on a CMC, you'll probably do the same with this.
 
We just purchased a proseal heat laminator.
Still getting the hang of it but i am positive that it will pay for itself in short order.
 
Don't rule out CODA. I think it is a lot of machine for the money and their support is top notch. Plus they make an excellent line of precoated boards.
 
Actually it's spelled Neschen and they have the Seal graphics line of roller laminators. Head office is located in the Baltimore area.
