FEATURES • Variable speed - The laminator operates at any speed up to 15 feet per minute. Thicker films are generally applied better at mid-range to lower speeds, while 1.5 mil film should be applied at mid-range to higher speeds.

• LCD temperature display - Makes it easy to set and maintain the correct temperature. The indicator light inside the heat switch comes on as the machine warms up. At set temperature the indicator light turns off.

• Simple controls - Conveniently placed switches provide a compact, reliable control pad. Icons and international symbols are used for controls and safety warnings.

• Easy threading - Threading can be the most difficult aspect of using a laminator, so the Professor has built in threading aids. Once the upper and lower webs of film have been threaded through the machine, bottom idler threading is automatic when the operator closes the feed tray into it’s operating position.

• Forced air-cooling - This allows laminating with thicker films. Without a cooling system, thicker films will warp or ripple because they are still too hot when they come out the back of the laminator. The Professor has a more effective cooling system than any other machine in its class.

• Ease of cleaning - The silicone rubber rollers of the laminator should be cleaned regularly.

• Attached safety shield - The polycarbonate shield is clear so operators can see their work. It’s fixed to the machine and placed so they’ll naturally put it in the guard position before laminating.

• Lamination pressure - The rubber rollers are spring-loaded and preset to ensure correct and even lamination pressure. • Supply roll tension controls - Supply roll tension is easy to adjust by simply tightening or loosening the tension control knobs on the supply roll mandrels.

• Ease of maintenance - The Professor is made to last. • Reverse Switch - Can be invaluable at times to help avoid problems or clear misfeeds.

Although the Professor 27 was designed to include all of the standard features mentioned above, there are several options available to make the Professor 27 more versatile.

• Footage counter - This device can be reset to measure film usage in feet. Also available in a metric version.

• Roll Feed Kit - When laminating a very long item such as a banner, it is difficult to hand feed it into the laminator perfectly straight. The banner can be rolled onto an empty film core and then put onto the roll feed assembly. Laminating the longest item becomes relatively easy. The roll feed tray is especially helpful for the owners of poster printers, plotters, banner makers, and other digital output. Specifications subject to change without notice.

*The Ledco factory warranty on the Professor will cover all parts and labor due to any laminator malfunction. Operator error, such as film wrapping or any other mishandling of the laminator is not included under the warranty.
