Description:
Amazingly easy to use, the Brother LX900 Cool Laminator does the work for you. Forget fumbling with those slippery sheets of laminate and trying to find the correct size pouches for your job. And stop worrying about turning the machine on early so it can warm up or that funky burning smell that comes from so many laminators. The Brother Cool Laminator can handle anything you might want laminated, be it a sign, your kid's certificate for winning the school spelling bee, a 3-by-5 photo of your Mexican vacation, or a business card. Start by inserting the film cartridge and follow the very concise directions in the instruction manual (it's similar to inserting a toner cartridge in a printer). Then plug the AC adapter into the machine and the other end into the wall. Press On, and you're ready to go. No humming, rumbling, or burning odor. Better still, this laminator is the size, shape, and weight of a standard printer--not a heavy, cumbersome machine like those of yesteryear. The LX900 comes preset for 0.18-inch borders, but you can choose a "no border" setting or turn the option off and cut your own borders. Like with a printer, to laminate, you simply slide the document guide to cradle your paper and press Start. Within five seconds, out comes your laminated document. And since this is a cool laminator, the paper can be handled immediately. If you want rounded corners, insert the corner of the laminated document into the corner cutter on the bottom right of the machine and hold it there for four clicks. Remove, and the sharp corner is now round and smooth. The laminator comes with a roll of double-sided laminate. If you prefer, you can also use adhesive- or magnetic-back laminates with this machine. When your film roll gets low, a colored tape will show (it can be peeled off), and the roll will need to be replaced immediately. As an added bonus, a CD of PrintMaster Gold is also included. This software, once installed on your computer, will allow you to create signs, banners, and templates for your own designs. --Dana Van Nest Pros:
