Hey all With Pedro's advice, I just got a laminator. But, it was a cheapy I found at at Wal Mart for only $22, and as I feared isn't producting quite the results I'd hoped for. It seems to work well if I heat the board with an iron under no pressure other than its own weight, then run the board through the laminator for even pressure. The laminator kinda works by itself, but it isn't really great, even after 11 or 12 passes through it. It leaves large areas with little spots where the toner didn't transfer, and leaves fine lines with little notches ocassionaly with the magazine paper I'm using. I was wondering if anybody knows the temperature of any laminators they have found to work really well. This one says it hits 248 degrees F. It also seems the fuser of a laser printer would work especially well, if you didn't damage the rollers by putting a board that was way fatter than it was intended for through it. The boards I am using ar 28 mil in thickness. Thanks -Josh Pullman, WA
