You must have a Brother printer? I had one of those and ran the GBC laminator up around 400F and it sure got hot.... then one day I wasn't watching and allowed the temp to get up over 500F..... yep, the plastic holding the rollers melted allowing them to drop..... Oh well, it was only $25 shipped so I ordered another..... and changed to a HP printer to get away from those high temps.
Good luck - Ken H>
