Matrix Duo MD-460 is a desktop model. Optional accessories for the Matrix MD-460 include a stand, Film Perforating System, Flatbook and additional Mandrels.  The Stand includes wheels and a base plate, perfect for storing spare film.  The Film Perforation Unit attaches to the top of the Matrix Duo MD-460, to perforate the film and make it easier to slit, as the job comes out laminated at the back of the machine, without the need for a knife or scissors.  Extra mandrels make the transition between matte and gloss or 25mm/1″ and 77mm/3″ core film quick and easy, saving time and increasing efficiency.  Flatbook enables Perfect Bound and PUR Bound book covers to be laminated both sides and stay perfectly flat, while using standard OPP film, on all types of stock. Flatbook cuts out a channel of film as it laminates, leaving the inside spine unlaminated. This allows the adhesive to stick to the spine and not the laminate.  The result is a perfectly bound flat book.
