Subject: Re: Slipping rollers on new GBC H310 (and paper testing)

In years past I have only ever used magazine paper since Pedro came out with his guide, with a clothes iron. The laminator is what has thrown everything into disarray. So now I'm testing the various papers. So far magazine paper is still doing well. But I'm interested in reproducing the nice finish of the glossy photo papers.

It would be helpful if I had a way to compare how dense the toner output was of various printers. I wish there was a scale or something so that each prince members use could put their 'rating' in the database. I think my cartridge may be getting low.

When I first started with a laminator I didn't have good luck either - now it's a LOT better than what I was using before.
