Subject: Re: Anybody tried a large flatbed laminator for toner transfer?

From: "Steve" <alienrelics@...>

I have a dumb question- is there any reason not to try bumping the
temp up a bit?

Alex is right, that press could sell for quite a bit on eBay. 350F is
a bit low for a Tshirt press, though, but that is big.

I've heard of people doing Toner Transfer using a heat press, but
never had anyone say they needed to go to such lengths. I have a
Tshirt press, smaller but goes up to over 400F, and just got a laser
printer again.

purchased a fairly large laminating machine at a gov't surplus
auction. It's a "Commercial 210M" model, made by Seal. The bed and
heated lid/press's mating surfaces are flat and measure about 18 x 22
inches.
