MyBinding MY2700L Premium School Laminator Review

There are a lot of laminator manufacturers around from Fellowes to GBC, Drytac to Royal Sovereign. However, Internet retailer MyBinding.com has come up with their own laminator that will give the machines from the well-known manufacturers a run for their money. The product is the MY2700L, a school laminator. Here's a look at this machine including its strengths and weaknesses.

Strengths:

• The MY2700L is big enough to process items that are up to 27 inches wide. This is a great laminating width because it will allow you to work with large and small documents including artwork, banners, school assignments, and more.

• This device uses school laminating film that's 1.5 and 3 mil thick. Since it only takes two thicknesses of film, selecting the right one for your work will be easy. And, no matter which film you use, your documents will look great because this machine has silicone rollers that will spread adhesive evenly with no bubbles or wrinkles.

• This is a thermal laminator that operates at temperatures of 125 and 135 degrees Fahrenheit. It also has a cold setting so you can process items that could possibly be damaged by heat such as documents printed with water-based ink.

• The MY2700L's rollers can be slightly separated so you can use mounting boards. The boards can be up to 3/16" thick and can be used to create eye-catching visual displays.

• Whatever your project is, it will be finished quickly because this device can process 150 centimeters of material per minute. (Note: that's about 59 inches.)

• If you happen to run into any problems when using the MY2700L, it has a reverse mode you can use to get back on the right track. This mode is easy to use, just like the other features of the machine.

• The MY2700L isn't too big so you'll be able to easily find a place for it. Its dimensions are 34" (width) x 13" (depth) x 14" (height) so it will fit in just about any workspace.

• Finally, this laminator comes with both a low price and a one-year warranty.

Weaknesses:

• You can't use laminating film that's thicker than 3 mil with this device. That might be problematic if your documents need the protection a 7 or 10 mil film can provide.

• The 27-inch laminating width might not be enough if you work with a lot of really large items. In that case, you should consider a wide-format laminator instead.

The MyBinding MY2700L would be a great laminator for educational institutions from preschools to universities. (It would also be good for professional offices.) This device has a lot of great features including a generous laminating width, the ability to with with mounting boards, and the reverse mode. Plus, this laminator is easy to use and it will enable you to quickly process your documents. It's not too big either and the price is right. It would be nice if this machine could handle thicker laminating film, but overall, the MY2700L is a great buy. Pick one up for your school or workplace today.
