Large-format digital colour printing solutions distributor Colourgen has been given exclusive rights for UK distribution of the new range of Kala Starter cold laminators, which Colourgen is calling 'the perfect entry-level laminator'.

The new Kala Starter range comes in widths of 1.1m, 1.4m and 1.6m and provides single-sided lamination and adhesive mounting simultaneously onto substrates of a maximum of 50mm thick. All sizes in the new range can handle roll lengths of up to 100m.

The 1.1m version of the new Kala Starter line of cold laminators is available from ￡2,670 (ex VAT)

"The new laminators are targeted at photographers, sign-makers and printers looking for a first laminator or an additional machine at a low price for special requirements," says Colourgen product manager Melanie Enser. "They are very easy to use and we expect customers to be up and running and producing profitable finishing jobs very quickly indeed."

One aspect the company says distinguishes the Kala Starter line from similarly priced laminators is its adjustable pressure feature complete with visual gauge. Hand and pedal-controlled forward and reverse motion and an emergency stop button for safety are also included.
