When it comes to producing high quality, great looking documents, time is often of the essence, so you need the right tools that will help you complete your work quickly and easily. If you and/or your employees or co workers laminate frequently, one product that could really help you out is the GBC HeatSeal H535 Turbo Pouch Laminator. This device can laminate your documents very quickly, while still giving them a polished, professional look, even if you need to use mounting boards. However, this machine does have a few weaknesses you should know about, so here they are, in addition to this product s strengths.
Strengths:
* The H535 has a pretty wide feed opening that is 12.5 inches wide, so you can easily laminate both letter and legal sized items, as well as larger menu and double letter sized pouches.
* This machine will work with pouches of every thickness, including ones that are 10mil. It is also capable of laminating mounting boards for use in presentations, displays, and so on.
* You can laminate just about anything, even heat sensitive documents and photographs with the H535 because it was designed to be used for both hot and cold lamination. (The temperature is controlled via a digital mechanism.) The machine is outfitted with four rollers to ensure a smooth, blemish free job every time you use it.
* This device will perform your lamination quickly. It has the ability to laminate up to 40 inches of material per minute depending on the temperature and speed setting you choose. (There are six speed settings and you can program your favorite temperatures.)
* If you encounter a jam while using the H535, you can utilize the device s motorized reverse function to help solve the problem.
* The H535 will turn off on its own when it hasn t been used for about an hour or so. Not only does this protect the motor, it will keep your working environment safe.
* An LCD control panel allows you to easily use the machine.
* This product is a nice silver color that will easily blend in with your surroundings. There s a document tray on the back of the machine that will catch your items as they exit the device.
Weaknesses:
* This machine takes up to 5 minutes to warm up, which isn t too bad, but it would be nice if the wait time was shorter, especially since this machine is supposed to be fast. However, this is comparable to other similarly featured pouch laminators on the market. Just make sure you factor in this time when planning your laminating job, especially if you re under a deadline.
* Although this system has a four roller design, other manufacturers make machines with six rollers for the lamination of photos. Depending on the items you are laminating, it might be worth spending a little bit extra for a six roller machine.
* GBC only offers a limited one year warranty for this machine which should be adequate for most users. However, after the warranty period it may be difficult to repair this unit (GBC usually just replaces these machines inside the warranty period). Most users won t have problems but it is something to consider.
Overall, the GBC HeatSeal H535 Turbo Pouch Laminator is the machine to get if you have a need for speed, so long as the 5 minute warm up time is acceptable to you. If so, get your machine today and get ready to enjoy having a device that can keep up with the demands of your workload!
