I'm pretty sure it will work just fine. Hopefully the modification
instructions are close enough. Probably are but you never know. If
you buy it and try to mod it, please take some pictures.
On the subject of clones - I dont think anyone has copied the gbc.
The only real advantage of GBC is that some one has opened it up and
figured out how to increase the distance between the lamination
rollers, thus accomodating thicker media. Its a bit hit or miss for
others. As long as they are hot laminators (vs cold), there is
probably a way to make them work. I've been keeping my eye out for
laminators at the thrift stores in my area but have yet to see
anything.
