Model of laminator used

2003-10-28 by Dean Batute

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.
