Superior Finishing for Any Application
The LA-160W is a heat-assisted, large-format laminator built to improve laminate film adhesion — particularly on surfaces printed with UV-LED ink — and reduce the "silvering" effect that pressure-sensitive laminates can create.
A 62.2" maximum processing width and fast throughput speeds keep the LA-160W production-ready, while an accessible pressure handle, foot pedal, and take-up reel let one operator run the entire lamination process alone.
Built for One-Person Operation
Heat assistance and simple controls keep lamination fast without adding a second operator.
Heat-Assisted Adhesion
Processing temperatures from room temperature up to 140°F improve film bond quality, especially over UV-LED printed surfaces.
One-Person Operation
A take-up reel, easy-access pressure handle, and foot pedal let a single operator manage the full lamination run.
Built for Mimaki Media
Designed to pair with Mimaki Vision Laminate film and any Mimaki roll-to-roll printer for a matched finishing workflow.
Reduced Silvering, Reliable Finish
Heat assistance during lamination reduces trapped air and the silvering effect that can occur when pressure-sensitive film is applied over UV-LED ink. A roughly 30-minute preheat cycle brings the roller up to working temperature before the first pass.
- Heat-assisted adhesion reduces silvering effect
- ~30 minute preheat cycle
- Processing speed up to 7,500 mm/min
Film & Roller Specifications
Roller System
4.72" (120mm) diameter roller, with processing thickness up to 1.38" (35mm).
Attachment Shafts
3" attachment shafts (5 included, with measure scale) for quick roll changeovers between jobs.
Five included 3" shafts mean the LA-160W can switch between film rolls without extended downtime.
Matched Printer & Laminator Workflow
Built to Pair With Mimaki Roll-to-Roll Printers
The LA-160W is designed to use with Mimaki Vision Laminate film alongside any Mimaki roll-to-roll printer, giving shops a matched print-to-finish workflow from a single manufacturer.
