Well, there's only so much you can do with the plastic 'disposable' type laminators.
I run my laminators around 340F almost every day, no complaints and certainly, no breakdowns. One pass  and several boards at a time some times.

The laminator mod I made has been running 2 years now...and has saved me quite a few man hours by producing repeatable,  accurate double sided transfers down to 10 mil, especially for RF/UHF capable boards where irregular traces (as per iron on) would cause problems with parasitics.

I am from the school of buying good tools once after learning buying cheap = buying twice with headaches included.

Leaves more time to make rather than fix.

cheers.
