Re: high-temp laminator

2010-05-25 by sailingto

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>
