I'm a teacher and bought this laminating machine to use for the classroom. It heats up fast and is very easy to use. You do have to make sure the laminating pouch is put in evenly. This machine is a "must have" for a teacher or anyone else who needs to laminate multiple smaller items. Very reasonably priced.

This product saved me money. It is a lot cost effective for me to laminate myself than have a store do it. I use this to post flyers thru the neighborhood and for crafts at church.

The product is very durable - just wish there was a holder for the laminiated material coming out.

This Laminator works great. It stores pretty easy. Just plug it in let it warm up put your product together. Insert the sheet into the unit and it pulls the sheet thru and seals together and your product is protected. I would recommend this product to anyone.

Questions & Answers
Q:
If I would like to place two pages in one laminate pouch to get a front and back effect will that work well
Asked by michael
A:
Thank you for your question. You are able to laminate sheets back to back but the pages would not be able to be separated without breaking the seal.

Q:
What happens if you forget to turn off the laminator?
Asked by Girl
A:
There are no safety issues with leaving the machine on for an extended amount of time as all Fusion laminators have the appropriate UL / CE safety certifications. Machines left on will continue to draw current and stay heated, so as a electric conservation action, you may wish to turn off every night.

Q:
Can I laminate a 170 gsm photo paper in this machine? Will the heat spoil the photo colours?
Asked by deepakvrao
A:
Yes you can laminate photo paper in this machine but if this is an old keepsake photo that is heat sensitive then we do not recommend it.

Q:
Why or how is this laminator limited when using 5 mil pouch?
Asked by bradly
A:
The machine will not provide enough consistent heat to laminate a full letter sheet, but will do fine with smaller size items. You can try to use a 5 mil, but will most likely get “bubbles” and may experience some de-lamination.

Q:
What does the visual with the stack of paper /10 mean?
Asked by Tutor
A:
The symbol measures the speed in pouches per 10 minutes. Since there is a 10 on the machine, this means 10 pouches can go through within 10 minutes. If it had said 15, that would mean 15 pouches can go through within 10 minutes.

Q:
4x6 5mil curls any way to fix??
Asked by markarthur
A:
For best results when laminating and to avoid curls, remove the laminated sheet as soon as it comes out of the machine and lay it on a flat surface to cool for 30 seconds.

Q:
Can't find anywhere that states if you have to use a special cleaning sheet - or is it just a thick piece of cardboard stock?
Asked by ladybug
A:
Any piece of chipboard will work or you can fold a piece of standard (20 pound) paper in half and run it through a few times to clean the product. Make sure that there is no gloss to the paper or the machine will not clean.
