The Most Versatile Laminator for the Entry Level Graphic Finishing Arena

This video [https://youtu.be/QmGAGDGl6yI] details the compadre wide format graphics laminator which AGL considers its entry level laminator for this industry. The Compadre is designed with features more commonly found in more expensive and heavy-duty flagship laminators. This laminator combines the speed and capacity to deliver maximum productivity, reliability and return on investment. One of the areas of concern in the UV/Latex finishing process is dealing with the problem known as silvering. With AGL’s proprietary pneumatically actuated nip roll design with the pressures it develops this laminator solves the problems associated with poor laminate adhesion and silvering.
