When choosing a pouch laminator, it's always a good idea to select one that's packed with user-friendly features and is easy to operate. Luckily, the Lamitek PhotoPro 13 fits the bill beautifully. This laminator is compatible with laminating pouches that are up to 10 mil thick and it has a 13-inch feed opening that can accommodate large and small documents. The PhotoPro 13 also has a cold setting for those heat-sensitive materials and it has four rollers so everything will be smoothly processed. Here are a few tips to help you successfully use this machine:
-
Turn on the laminator and let it warm up. This device takes about 5 minutes to heat up, so you'll be able to start laminating pretty quickly.
-
Select the appropriate setting for your pouch. For example, if you're using a 5 mil pouch, turn the rotary dial to the number 5 position. If you're using a pressure-sensitive laming pouch, select the cold setting, and so on.
-
Place your document in a pouch and then place the pouch in a carrier. Run the carrier though the laminator and place it to the side afterward. Your document needs to cool off before you can use it.
-
Just repeat the above steps for your other documents. Turn off the PhotoPro when you're done so that the motor doesn't overheat.
Finally, you might want to try foil laminating with PhotoPro if you're feeling adventurous. Foil laminating is the process of adding a bit of decorative foil to your documents and you can do this with a machine that uses 10 mil pouches.

Overall, the Lamitek PhotoPro 13 is a great pouch laminator that's versatile and easy to use. (Watch the video to see it in action.) Try out the tips listed above you can produce beautifully laminated documents.
