Which laminators can handle 1.6mm board

Which laminators can handle 1.6mm board

2009-03-28 by trevwhite74

Hi all. 

I have been nosing around at all the laminators that are available. I have seen one that says it will handle 500um, the rest seem to be <250um. 

Have many of you out there had good success with feeding 1.6mm pcb board through your laminators? If so what laminator do you use?

Many thanks

Trev

As stated in another post, I just acquired a GBC H425 and specs say up to 2 x 250 µm but that's for the pouch thickness only the overall total thickness is said to be 1 mm, but in reality the rollers are spring mounted and I easily fed a pile of paper up to 2 mm without effort, have not tried more.

Thanks for the response. 

I did a quick search through the messages but did not find much. I found a GBC H535 on ebay going relatively cheap and was trying to figure out if to buy it or not. I took the gamble and just bought it. Hopefully it will be of similar tolerance and work out fine. 

Thanks again.
