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
