 Posted: Wed Apr 18, 2007 7:43 am Post subject: Choose an Inexpensive Laminator? |
 |
|
I'd like to get a decent but cheap photo and general-purpose
laminator. I was wondering
if anyone had any advice. I saw one for around 80 bucks at Sam's Club.
What should I watch
out for w/r/t transparency of the coating, thermal or adhesive, cost
of supplies, how long it
lasts without degrading the material that's laminated. I guess acid
content is important
for photos.
Any pointers?
TIA!

If you plan to laminate photos from inkjet printers be careful, the hot
laminate ones can cause problems with the coatings on the inkjet photo
papers. I have had some turn yellow, brown and I have had some bubble. I
don't know what size you need to laminate but if you want to do photos I
recommend on of the heatless laminators like those from Xyron. They are used
by scrapbookers, they don't use any heat, they are easy to use, affordable
(as are the refills) and they are acid free which will help the photos last
longer. http://www.xyron.com. I have the Creative Station 900 and I am happy
with it.
