Hello all,
Like many of you, I've had great success with the Direct toner
method. Unless I'm mistaken I was the FIRST to suggest the use of
sheets from magazines as a souce of the paper ( I did EXTENSIVE
research on the net for a couple of months looking for suggestions as
to what brand of photo paper to use and not once did I see anyone
else suggest magazine stock at that time! ).

As to the laminator....I'm not sure if it was an older version of
DynaArt's web page or another manufacturer but I remember seeing a
page that described the Laminator they re-sold for the use of Direct
Toner Transfering and they CLEARLY stated they used an UNMODIFIED
Machine. Looking at the photo I again did some research and
discovered it was a GBC (General Binding Corporation) model "DocuSeal
95P" available from Staples/Business Depot for $129.92 Canadian. The
site had it listed as $149.99 US (their markup I'm sure)

Looking on E-Bay I've seen the same model number listed but the
photo is different so there appears to have been a "VERSION" change
at some point. The one you'll want to look for is silver with a
blue "D" shaped area if you look at the the laminator from above,
held sideways. The older version appears to be a cream coloured unit.

I'm sure there are PLENTY....I'll say again PLENTY!!!! of laminators
that will work, but it's always nice to know a model that obviously
works well enough for a company to choose to re-sell it specifically
for the task that WE want it for.

Hope that helps at least one person out there considering buying a
laminator and not sure what model may or may not be suitable.

Cheers....Dean.
