Hywel Whitaker, Managing Director of Gemini Digital Colour Ltd in Bridgend, talks to John Hancock, UK Sales Manager, about his Jupiter B2 Laminator -  the first UK Jupiter installation which took place in January 2007.
 
Why did you buy the Jupiter?  Cost & Productivity 
 
Did you consider anything else and if so why did you choose the Jupiter?  Yes we also looked at Autobond 
 
How is it performing for you?  Since having the feeder upgraded, productivity has increased (orginally the Jupiter was designed to run at 20m/minute.  Later models were increased to 25m/minute and a further 30m/minute model was added).
 
Do you have any particular likes and/or dislikes about it?  Likes -  easy to operate - no dislikes
 
How would you rate the quality of output?  Very good  
 
Has it saved you anything in respect of time and/or money?  Yes the productivity is up 30 - 40% compared to our previous laminator 
 
Who would you recommend buy this machine and why?  No one - send their work to us!!! Ideal for digital printers and also small to medium sized litho houses 
 
Would you like to comment on anything I have not mentioned.  The back up service we have received from D&K has been second to none, so far the machine has proved to be very reliable, robust and flexible enough for the variety of paper weights we laminate. All in all - one happy customer.

The MWA Graphic Wall Mount Adhesive is a two-sided solvent acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive designed specifically for removable/repositionable wall and window graphics. The adhesive system features advanced microsphere adhesive technology that allows graphics to be removed or repositioned without leaving any adhesive residue behind.
 
The Graphic Wall Mount Adhesive is 3.5mil adhesive film composed of a clear polyester carrier film coated on one side with an extremely tacky adhesive that will permanently bond to a wide variety of substrates. The reverse side is coated with an advanced microsphere adhesive that firmly sticks to smooth, flat surfaces such as windows and painted walls, but can be repositioned without damaging surfaces or losing tack.
 
The repositionable microsphere adhesives provide a strong, yet removable bond due to reduced surface area contact with the wall or window. This repositionable side is protected by a 60# moisture-stable release liner that is removed prior to use. The release liner can be retained for later use when removing or repositioning graphics. The Graphic Wall Mount Adhesive is recommended for short-term (6 months - 1 year) indoor applications such as wall graphics, murals, decals, and more.
