Hello,
I am looking into options for laminating large format posters. We currently use a large format printer and are able to print 36x48 Posters. The quality is not great but for our use it doesn't need to be. The posters are generally text / spread sheets / Forms that get mounted on the wall and filled out. Sometimes we will print a map or chart. I believe our poster printer uses thermal printing, much like how receipts are printed, in case this effects whether we should laminate with a hot or cold laminator. Its pretty old but works well enough.
We would like to look at laminating our posters for the sake of being able to use dry/wet erase markers on them so that they can be updated as needed. Generally we source out having these posters printed and laminated but I am looking into reducing our costs in the long run by bringing this in house.
The budget friendly large format laminators that I have found are listed below. Is anybody familiar with these models or companies and do you believe they would work for our application.

Having 2 rolls implies that it laminates both sides right?
I am open to all suggestions and input.
Thank you.
