Royal PL2000 laminator

2004-03-17 by Steve

Just my luck... my laser printers died, so now I find a Royal PL2000
laminator (rated Good in our TT database) at a thrift store.

Hm. Maybe this means I'm about to find a good laser printer? I'd
better go print out the database of laser printers so I can carry it
with me!

Make sure you Mod it before putting a pcb in it

You have to remove the "plate" that restricts the output -- I have no idea
why it's there - may to be a heatsink or something.
It comes off easy, Just pull on it from the middle so that it flexes enough
for it's ends to come out of the little slots.

Two of the screws are hiding under the feet, If you desire to take the lid
off, and perform said mod.

Well, there are only a handful of printers in the database, and much more
will work, do if you get a different one and it works it is a addition to
the database..
if it does not work, well, then you have a problem (sell it at ebay or so)

Thanks. Yes, I suspect it is there to cool the laminate and keep it
flat while it's cooling. Obviously not necessary for PCBs.

I did have it open already, had to repair it. The gear on the motor
seems to just snap in place and it had slid nearly off the end. I
pushed it back on and put a lump of glue on the end of the shaft to
help it stay in place. I'd closed it up and was prepared to sell it on
another list just as a laminator, and thought to look it up in the
database here first. Boy am I glad I did!

Hey, this was a $100 US buy! I paid only (get ready for this) $3 for
it and a handful of other stuff at a thrift store. They thought it was
a paper shredder.

A request: Could those who listed laminators also add info on how many
times they ran a PCB through for satisfactory results?

I love this list!
