Laminator would be useful for car work but consider what size you are going to print.... you might get away with a normal A3 laminator..... you can put long item through that depends if you need to put foam or coraflex through it.

I am planing to do some logos and signs for my car and I wonder if this need to be laminated or not?
At this stage, I wouldn't bother Paul. Decals/artwork lasts for ages unlaminated and in full sunshine.

It's the car wash and hedge scratches that are the problem not the UV fade that the lamination is for.

When you get to grips with it you will be able to take on jobs with better margins, ease of production and make that back!

They can do it though when I asked about it at a Grafityp/Siser garment workshop held at Rolands Design Studio the Roland Rep didn't think it was a good idea as fluff could contaminate the printhead

I am talking about standard flock vinyl when you cut from the adhesive side. :)
