GBC, a market leader in the manufacturing and distribution of laminating and binding products, announces the new GBC Orca 4064WF laminator designed for laminating and mounting large format prints up to 64” wide. Offering the latest in efficient lamination technology, including a new patented safety system, the Orca 4064WF is the premier model offered by GBC for professional print providers. It utilizes pneumatic controls and provides bi-directional capabilities to maximize workflow.

The Advanced Electrical Safety System encompasses three components – fiber optic detection, dynamic braking, and dual processing – working together to detect encroachment at the nip and immediately stop the rollers if fingers get too close. The design provides optimum operator safety while allowing superior control during lamination.

The Orca 4064WF features eight unwind and rewind shafts to provide maximum versatility for bi-directional and roll-to-roll operation. Bi-directional features permit hot and cold laminates to run consecutively without waiting for heated rollers to cool down. A full-functioning control panel can swivel to either side of the unit for added flexibility during operation. The foot pedal is also repositionable and offers variable speeds for finer control when mounting graphics.

The GBC 4064WF laminator is designed to create a full range of rigid and flexible applications including trade show graphics, backlit images, and POP displays.
