10 Reasons You Need A Flatbed Applicator
You’ll never need another work table
“ Who wants a one trick pony that takes up floor space? Not us, which is why we always opt for a flatbed. They’re versatile, flexible, and when you see what they can do you won’t care how much floorspace is used".”
When you run a print shop you need a printer, laminator and roll after roll of material, then you need that little something special over there in the corner. We call it a Flatbed Applicator, and you’ll be calling it your new best friend. Here’s 10 reasons you need one this Christmas!
You can wave goodbye to 2-person mounting
Imagine being able to keep on top of the admin whilst your apprentice gets to work on those dibond site boards. Well, with a flatbed applicator you can do exactly that, and have the peace of mind that only comes from knowing the first job will be just as good as the last.
1-handed application is quick and easy
When you feel like giving your apprentice a rest and doing a bit of work yourself, you’ll only need the one hand to do it. Just position the print and push the roller back and forth and your flatbed will take care of the rest. Perfect.
There’s zero risk of wrinkles
Wrinkles, creases, misalignments, they’re all things of the past when you have a perfectly flat surface to work from. You might think it takes a little bit of the fun and skill out of things, but who wants to work any harder than you have to when there’s a machine that can take care of everything for you?
No more bubbles and ridges
Because your new roller will apply uniform pressure from the moment it touches down, you’ll be able to sleep easy knowing there won’t be a bubble in sight when your customers stand back and admire your handiwork.
Thickness will never stop you in your tracks
If you need a thick board for an exhibition or conference, it used to take hours to find a suitable piece of equipment. Now you’ll have one ready and waiting in your print shop whenever you need it.
You’ll never need another work table
Who wants a one trick pony that takes up floor space? Not us, which is why we always opt for a flatbed. They’re versatile, flexible, and when you see what they can do you won’t care how much floorspace is used.
Saving space is made to look easy
Okay, so it’s going to use up some floorspace, but when you factor in the huge flexibility, not to mention the upturn in your throughput, it’s clear you have a real workhorse on your hands. It’s like the Swiss Army Knife of the print shop world.
Pre-masking has never been easier
Keeping everything lined up can be enough to keep you awake at night, which is another reason to wish for a flatbed this Christmas. It’ll feel like child’s play as you take care of a job you used to dread in seconds.
Laminating difficult substrates is just as easy
Glass panels, super flexible substrates, and any of those other delightful options your customers ask for can cause you real headaches with a conventional upright laminator. But with a flatbed everything is so quick and easy you’ll wonder what all the fuss was about. Ideal if you want to offer a whole host of new services to your customers.
