the device measures 55” x 20” x 16”.

A wide-format laminator is great for any
business or organization that produces large visual displays. One
device that's worth a look is the Pro-Lam PL-244WF 44” Wide-Format Roll
Laminator. Here are its strengths and weaknesses for your
consideration.

Strengths:

• The PL-244WF has a feed opening that's 44 inches wide.
  This is a wide-format laminator that's perfect for banners, posters,
  retail displays, and other large projects. It can also be used for
  smaller items if you want.
• This machine is compatible with
  laminating film that's up to 10 mil thick. Thicker film will protect
  your documents more, so it's great that this device can handle thick
  film. You can use both single- and double-sided laminate with it as
  well as mounting boards that are no thicker than 3/16”. The machine's
  gapable rollers make it possible for you to use the boards.
• The
  PL-244WF warms up quickly. It will be ready for use less than 5
  minutes after you turn it on. Once it's ready to go, you can take
  advantage of its variable speed setting. The highest speed setting
  available if 7 feet per minute, so this is a really fast product.
• You
  can use this laminator with or without a stand. If you choose to use
  it, you can use rolls of film that are 11 inches in diameter. If you
  don't use it, you can only use rolls that are 6” wide. And yes, the
  stand comes with this device. It's made out of steel and is durable.
• The
  PL-244WF is equipped with a digital temperature readout. This helps
  make the device easy to use. Also, this product has a reverse mode that
  can help you out if you ever experience a jam.
• If you want a
  durable laminator, the PL-244F is a good choice. This is a
  well-constructed machine that can withstand frequent laminating.

Weaknesses:

• The PL-244WF is extremely large so it's not a good device
  for small work areas. This item measures 55” (width) x 20” (depth) x
  40” (height) so it's definitely going to take up a fair amount of room.
  (Note: these dimensions are for when the laminator is placed on its
  included stand. Without the stand, the device measures 55” x 20” x
  16”.)
• To do cold lamination with this machine, you need an
  optional liner take-up. It would be nice if a cold lamination feature
  was part of this device.
• The PL-244's rollers are covered by a brief three-month warranty. The rest of the device has a one-year warranty.

Overall,
the Pro-Lam PL-244WF is worth a look if you're in the market for a
wide-format laminator. This machine is perfect for all of your large
projects thanks to its 44-inch laminating width. Due to this unit's
ability to handle mounting boards, you'll be able to create
professional-looking visual aids for a variety of uses. It's great that
this machine is compatible with laminating films of different
thicknesses and that it has a short warm-up. You'll find that this
equipment is easy to use and that it's durable enough for frequent use.
While it would be nice if this item could do cold lamination by
itself, the PL-244WF is a device you should consider getting if you
need a wide-format laminator.
