Homebrew PCBs

Hi,

    I have looked at laminators and am concerned that even the GBC Docuseal 95 you mentioned seem to have a 5 mil spec. on thickness. Is this a problem or will they take pcb material?

Thanks - Jack

  Subject: [Homebrew_PCBs] Model of laminator used


  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.
