Scotch Thermal Laminator, 2 Roller System for a Professional Finish, Use for Home, Office or School, Suitable for use with Photos (TL901X)

Weve had this for three years, and its still working great. The only nit I have is that it occaisionally skews the laminate as it goes through, but not much. Ive only used it for about 75 3 mil. laminations, but it works great!

This laminator was a great value for the money. It works exactly as intended and I have had no issues with it so far.

Works great easy to use

I love it

Purchased this when it was a daily Amazon special and am so happy I did! Ive used it to laminate aging sheet music and to protect recipes from the ravages of kitchen spills. Both were easily and quickly done, with great results. The Laminator: Its a lightweight, small footprint device that is very simple to operate. On/Off switch, a release lever to use if the item you are laminating jams, and a 3mm or 5mm switch - relates to the thickness of whatever you are laminating; use the 5mm for thick paper or two regular sheets of paper which are back to back. The 5mm setting is the hottest and the machine takes about 8 minutes to heat up for initial use at this setting. When placing two regular sheets of paper back to back (with recipes on each side), inserting them in the 9 x 12 pouches with the crease into the machine first (any bubbles escape out the open end), I was able to laminate my project in less than 10 seconds. Very quick and easy, and the front end (the part that comes out of the machine first) is cool to the touch with the end out last cooling off in approximately 15 seconds. The laminator remains hot and after multiple sheets, I noticed no change in the output quality of this laminator. The Pouches: The laminating pouches that are used with this machine come in several brands including the Scotch brand. All are on Amazon and you can choose smaller sizes than the 2 large sized ones that come with this unit, but Id suggest the same size and if you choose to laminate two smaller items you can simply use one pouch and cut the final sheet into two. Tips: Make sure when you are laminating that you have at least a quarter inch around the item you are laminating so that the pouch can adhere to itself - sealing the sides and protecting your item. If you leave the item sticking out, proper adhesion cant occur. Dont put lumpy items in the machine to be laminated. This will jam the machine and wont get the item laminated! Overall, its a great item for under twenty dollars, and the only real costs are in the laminating pouches so shop around and get the best deal. Some on Amazon include:

This is a nice laminator! Very easy to use. Just make sure you align the laminating film.

I’m a teacher and I love having this for when I need to laminate small projects!! Very happy with this product! Sometimes I have to put something through a second time when it needs to be sealed better, but it’s rare when I have to do that!

I have always wanted a laminator for my office, but I have an office in a closet. Therefore, I really couldnt have something bulky or needed to be plugged in all the time. This product has been amazing. I literally can pull it out whenever I need it and just plug it in. It takes less then 5 minutes to warm up and its hardly noticeable, because it takes me that much time to put my paper in the sheets for laminating. It hasnt messed up anything I have laminated at all and there hasnt been any air bubbles in anything. I honestly love this thing more than I thought I would.

I couldnt ask for a better/easier product for the money. It met all my needs so far

Ive always wanted a laminator. It works great! It seals totally with one run through. It is compact and fits perfectly on a little side table with my printer. It heats up quickly, and runs quietly. I just laminated a friends mothers obituary. She really appreciated it. The Scotch laminating pockets are perfect for using with it. They are a nice weight and you get 100 for a very reasonable price. They come out nice and clear. I highly recommend it and look forward to doing lots of projects on it.
