Re: H200 laminator equivalent?

2004-09-15 by Phil

the H200 doesn't have foil setting, per se, but it does have a 
settings for 3 and 5 MM.  The 5MM setting kicks out a lot more heat.

I think our friends down under might be better served by salvaging a 
laser printer for its fuser assembly.  If I had to pay north of $100, 
I'd probably take a pass on the laminator.
