Fellowes Saturn SL – 125 Laminator Review
Getting the right laminator isn’t hard when you know what to look for. One that’s good for medium-duty use is the Fellowes Saturn SL-125. Here are its strengths and weaknesses so you can decide if it’s right for you.
Strengths:
- One thing that makes the SL-125 worth a look is its 12.5-inch feed opening. An opening this wide is perfect for a lot of different documents, from legal-sized ones to business cards and name tags. Basically, just about any size document can be laminated which is really convenient.
- This machine has adjustable temperature settings so you can select the perfect amount of heat (or lack thereof) for your document. Both hot and cold settings are available, which allows for the lamination of heat-sensitive documents.
- Speed is the name of the game with the SL-125. It warms up in a mere 5 minutes and can laminate a letter-sized item in less than 60 seconds. This is a great machine to use when time is of the essence.
- You can use a couple of different types of pouches with this device. For hot lamination, you can pouches that are 3 and 5 mil thick. For documents that require cold processing (such as photographs), pressure-sensitive pouches are the way to go.
- To ensure you receive the best results possible, the SL-125 has two rollers to distribute heat and melt the adhesive inside the pouch. Your documents will emerge from the machine looking great and free from bubbles and other blemishes.
- If a pouch ever gets jammed in the device, you can use the release lever to free it. This will allow you to get back to work in a flash.
- The SL-125 is one of Fellowes’ many laminators that’s equipped with HeatGuard technology. This feature keeps the machine cool to the touch thanks to double-walled insulation.
- This laminator has the following approximate dimensions: 4″ (height) x 21″ (width) x 8″ (depth). It also has a carrying handle, so it’s small enough to take with you on the go.
- The SL-125 can be used several times a week. It would be great for schools and offices.
- You don’t need to rush out and buy laminating pouches because this device comes with several to get you started.
Weaknesses:
- The SL-125 is classified as a carrier-free laminator. That means you don’t need to use carriers when processing your documents. However, not doing so can cause problems because hot adhesive can seep out of the pouch and coat the inside of the machine. This can be really bad for the device, so make sure you have a carrier handy when using it.
- This laminator can’t accommodate pouches that are 7 and 10 mil thick. Also, you won’t be able to use mounting boards.
The Fellowes Saturn SL-125 is a great choice if you need a medium-duty laminator that can handle 5 and 7 mil pouches. It offers a good laminating speed, a wide feed opening, and it can be transported easily. Plus, this machine is safe to use. If you need a laminator, take a look at it today to see if it would be right for you.
