One of the best things about roll laminators

is that they can process items that are extremely wide. One such device

is the Royal Sovereign RSS-685. This machine has a terrific laminating

width as well as other features that make it stand out. Here are this

product's strengths and a couple of its weaknesses.

Strengths:

This machine has a laminating width of 27 inches, so it's

perfect for creating graphic displays, posters, signs, and other

wide-format items.The RSS-685 is a device that can work

quickly. In fact, it's twice as fast as some of the other roll

laminators on the market due to its being a heat shoe-type device. This

machine can laminate an item that's 19.7 feet long in a minute, so you

can imagine how little time it will take to do your work. There are 9

different speed settings you can choose from depending on what you're

laminating.You'll need to use rolls of laminating film with

this machine instead of pouches. You can use film that's between 1 and

10 mil thick so you items can have the amount of protection they need.

Both thermal and pressure-sensitive film can be used.The

temperature of the RSS-685 is controlled digitally and the highest

temperature it can operate at is 320 degrees Fahrenheit, which is

equivalent to 160 degrees on the Celsius scale. It has a cold setting so

you can take care of any thermally sensitive items you want using

pressure-sensitive film.If you want to use this machine for

mounting purposes, it's totally possible. The device can process boards

that are up 0.5 thick. This feature will come in handy if you want to

create visual aids and so forth.The RSS-685 has a blower

built into it so it can cool off properly before shutting off. The

blower helps keep the machine in good condition and it will enable you

to keep laminating.Using this laminator is pretty easy

because it has a digital keypad and a foot pedal. The keypad has an LED

display that's easy to read and all of the buttons are clearly marked.

As for the foot pedal, it's a great addition because using it will allow

you to keep your hands free, thus making the whole process a lot

easier. This machine also comes with a remote control for added

convenience.The RSS685 comes with a cross-cutter and side

slitters so you can trim the excess film from your documents.

Weaknesses:

The RSS-685 takes a bit of time to warm up. It will be

ready for use after about 10 minutes, so you may want to do other things

while it's warming up.Since this is a wide-format device,

it's going to take up a lot of room. With dimensions of 42.1" (width) x

25.6" (depth) x 47.4" (height), it's probably not a good choice if you

have a really tiny workspace. It also weighs a lot (220 pounds), but

luckily there are casters on the bottom of the stand so moving it won't

be super difficult.

As you can see, the Royal Sovereign

RSS-685 has a lot to offer, from its wide laminating width to its fast

operation. Although it's large and takes a while to warm up, this

machine would be a good choice if you need a wide-format roll laminator.

You are probably aware that wire binding spines

can be tricky thins to work with, because there is so much variance size

from one type of spine to the next. If you're looking for a machine

that can easily deal with all of the different thicknesses and pitches,

you should consider the Akiles WBM 532. Here are a few great reasons

why.

You are probably aware that wire binding spines

can be tricky thins to work with, because there is so much variance size

from one type of spine to the next. If you are looking for a machine

that can easily deal with all of the different thicknesses and pitches,

you should consider the Akiles WBM 532. Here are a few great reasons

why.

1. The WBM 532 is a model of versatility in the wire binding world. This

remarkable wire closer can easily handle all of the common sizes and

types of wire binding supplies and spines. What this mease to you is

that this machine can deal with jSpiral-O spines with the same ease and

aplomb that it handles twin-loop wire spines, and that you now have the

ability to close wire spines that are of either 3:1 or 2:1 pitch. No

matter if your books require that smallest of the largest binding spine,

this great new machine can handle them all. In a world of specialties,

you have now found a machine that can do it all.

2. Though the throat of the WBM 532 is fourteen inches (perfect for

legal and letter sized booklets), you will have the ability to easily

close wires that are longer if need be, meaning that you can create

documents that are any size with the help of this handy little machine.

3. The WBM is a standalone workhorse, which means that you won't need

any other units on hand to hole the wire spine for you while you are

working. This really help to increase productivity, and that's what it's

really all about.

4. Unlike a lot of wire closers on the market, the WBM 532 is engineered

to work in a vertical fashion, meaning that you get to use gravity to

help hole the spines in place as you work. This makes the process so

much easier, you'll wonder why more machines haven't thougt of using

this setup. Just to make things that much easier, the WBM 532 also

features an integrated wire holding device.

5. The WBM532 also features a handy spine selector that lets you place

your document inside, measure the thickness, and select the binding

spine that is correct foe the needs of each particular book or booklet.

Placed conveniently at the front of the machine, this simple feature can

save you oodles of time and frustration.

6. There's also a great closer controller attached that helps to

guarantee that each and every wire spine will close both quickly and

correctly.

7. The WBM 532 is constructed of all heavy duty metal parts and

components, so you can be sure that you will get years and years of

service out of this well-designed unit. Even the most high volume users

would be hard pressed to wear this rugged device out.

8. The WBM532 makes life easier. Kind of a broad statement perhaps, but

any machine that comes with the ability to do it all is worthy of such

high praise, don't you think?
