* The Digital 60" is compatible with the thickest laminating film available: 10 mil. This film will give all of your materials adequate protection so you can get a lot of use out of them. The rolls of film you use can have 3-inch cores. Also, the rollers are made out of silicone which will help distribute adhesive evenly and produce a smooth finish. There are top and bottom heat controls for the rollers.
* This laminator works very quickly so you can finish your work in very little time. The machine has a top laminating speed of 20 feet per minute. It doesn't really get much faster than that.

Weaknesses:
* As you may have expected, the Digital 60" is an extremely large machine. Its dimensions are 71" (width) x 39" (depth) x 43" (height) so it's going to take up a lot of room. And, of course, the machine is heavy - it weighs 880 pounds.
* If you laminate a lot of smaller items, you should have a more compact machine for those materials. Processing them with this device would be overkill and a waste of supplies.
