Matrix Series

This guide explains the Matrix Series from Vivid, a UK manufacturer of print finishing equipment.
It clearly outlines the differences between the professional models, which are designed for stable lamination with reduced curl, and provides straightforward guidance on choosing the right machine for different applications for print shops and in-house production teams.

What is the Matrix Series?

A professional finishing range that delivers stable results
with reduced curl

The Matrix Series tackles two common challenges in digital printing: toner cracking and curl. It is a versatile finishing solution that also supports embellishment such as foiling (sleeking).

Built in the UK with a robust design and Vivid’s proprietary anti-curl technology, it produces beautifully flat results even on difficult digitally printed stocks. More than just protection, it is used by print businesses worldwide as a tool for adding high value to printed materials.

For example, if you run small batches, ease of installation and implementation is key. For medium-batch operations handling a wide product mix, the scope of automation becomes the priority. For high-volume sites that frequently deliver by roll or perform batch trimming, continuous processing will be central.

On this site, we introduce recommended fully automatic laminators by production scale. If you want to find the best machine for your business, please take a look.

Matrix Series Lineup

Matrix MX-370MP

Single-sided laminating and embellishment model
with powerful pneumatic roller pressure

Primary applications

Featuring a pneumatic roller that applies stronger pressure than a typical spring-loaded system, it bonds reliably even on dense solid areas in digital prints. This helps prevent lifting and delamination.

By making the most of this uniform high pressure, it also delivers high-quality speciality finishes such as digital foiling and spot gloss, which react with toner. It adds a premium look to business cards and card products, helping you increase unit value.

Matrix MX-530DP

High-productivity model that finishes both sides
in a single pass

Primary applications

It laminates the front and back simultaneously in a single pass, cutting working time in half.

A powerful anti-curl unit physically corrects sheet wander and curl, which are more likely to occur during double-sided lamination. This enables high-speed, high-quality mass production of products that demand flatness, such as menus, company brochures, and photo books.

Matrix Duo MD-650

A versatile machine that handles both encapsulation
and single-sided lamination in one unit

Primary applications

A versatile model that supports both double-sided encapsulation for posters and similar items, and single-sided film lamination for book covers and more.
It is well suited as a “first machine” for print shops and copy shops that want to bring large-format poster finishing in-house to reduce outsourcing costs, while also handling single-sided finishing as needed.

Matrix Duo MD-460

A capable entry-level model that delivers professional quality
in an office-sized footprint

Primary applications

Despite its desktop size, it features a robust metal body and roller mechanism. It enables cost-effective in-house production of durable finishes such as encapsulation for menus and teaching materials.

Operation is simple, yet the machine is built tough for continuous use. It meets quality demands in schools, shops, and small offices where consumer laminators do not deliver satisfactory results.
